NEW USER - Seeking advice: Best Mac Setup (2026)
para-CAD replied to CA_Russell's topic in General Q & A
Cool. I've had this laying around in a "tech" drawer. I am now trying it out. It has quite a few buttons. -
I’m not in front of my computer but I think you need to right- click the schedule and choose either refresh or re-number from the dialogue drop-down/context menu and it will re-number everything correctly. Then if you want them in a certain order you can drag each row up or down and that will also re-order the callouts. I could be wrong because I can’t verify but I think that’s how you do it

Create it in sketchup then import it into chief as a symbol..........but you need EXACT sizes, pitch, and dimensions to make sketchup useful in this instance. Loom is cool. https://www.loom.com/share/eebe1a80e68f48e4932879d46a4eecb1

Most called windows are actually ½" smaller both ways than called (48" x 36" is 47 ½" x 35 ½") and the R/O actually is 4-0/3-0 Anderson has some custom sizes....always refer people to the vender literature....

If X18 is featuring files existing on a CA cloud service....I could see an increased charge for that. I hope it's optional, because I like Dropbox.

Post production video editing - yes. During, probably, but timing and transitions might be hit or miss.

DWG exported from Chief.........sure. It's a mess but NEVER the chief files.

If you can find a way to share the link to your file where I can download it, I will open it and sketch up and send you back views that can be traced in chief.

Rene You are a doer. Never stop. Keep rockin! Most people never push themselves hard. I imagine some people are evious of your mastery of digital design. Some people are sad little minions. Its fun to see whatever you share in your journey to excel in your craft. Thanks on behalf of all the people you have helped.

"Permit-Ready" is fully dependent on your AHJ (location) -
Rene could build you a custom cabinet.

I have it turned on automatically for any time I’m working on a chief architect file. I use different time trackers, like Clockify, when using other apps for me, I export it into an Excel spreadsheet where I can total all the times in a column and assign a value per time (rate of $/hr)

Dell owns Alienware If you earn a living from the computer (TOOL) then have one built. Puget Systems is great. It's still great for my wife's business.

I paid Alaskan Son to create the superscript option. He was fast and reasonable. It takes a modified font that he provides, I chose modified ARIAL. Then I set all my font type to ARIAL and the window and door openings to the modified ARIAL. Rene also provides this, I don't know if it is only in his plan template or can be sold as an individual item.
