One reason perhaps not to put schedules beside the floor plan, is it might impact the zoom to extents.

I have them on a cad detail page which is on a layout page already linked to it.

I do sometimes put a wall schedule below a plan but they are typically less than 5 rows

What is in your text style

It seems that only measurement fields will total and there is no way to define a custom field as a number. Correct or not?

correct. One can hope it comes in X16

2) I have total displayed in a schedule. Is there any way to grab this number for use as a variable?

No. I've asked for it

And yes, I realized that my heel height was making the strange section above the porch beams. Is it possible to manipulate only the porch heel setting, instead of lowering the whole house?

I dont think so, normally I will select the "minority" roof plans and use transform replicate to lower them using the z adjust

If you search the forum for risers stairs macro  and make sure you select to search all terms you will find a few.  Doug n posted the following . I'm not sure if you will need one for each stair section

In plan view you can attach test to the stairs and use a macro like

%num_treads+1% Risers

Run %tread_depth%"

Rise %riser_height.round(2)%"

Might want to post the plan.  If they are directly under the walls,  and you never manually drew them they may be footings. 

There are free viewers. I had one a few years ago. A search on the interweb for dwg free viewer will find them

I think the one I had was actually from autocadd, trueviewer or something like that

are you on the right floor?.

set the layer set to "all layers on" and move between floors

change the category, one categiry type for each floor?

floor 0:

floor 1

i have my schedules in a CAD detail in my template plan, and a layout box linked to them on my template layout. It all works with no resending. the only time i have to touch them is to move the schedules around due to space.

oh and when I create a new layout template, i dont delete the links

You can use the software on any number of computers with one key. you just cant use the software on them at the same time

Are you asking if the plans you are working on get moved between your computers? If so, the answer is no. You would need to move them, or use an external USB drive or cloud service.

If you search this forum for onedrive, dropbox, cloud you will see how people are managing files.

I personally use a couple different computers, but one primarily, and use an external drive when I have to use the other one. But others on here have more sophisticated methods 

got me, looks like the roof was raised ~4 inches, and the wall moved in 2 inches and left a piece of the soffit there. or it is a ceiling plane poking through

I typically will do black and white to avoid this or a back clipped xsection

that is interesting, I would submit that to CA, one would think the available DPI would not be contingent on layout vs plan

Please post in q and a

Hmm very interesting

Anyway... lesson learned is not to delete the Living Area.

my guess is there is more than one trigger as i never, at least not consciously, delete the living area label.

you could also reduce the sunlight intensity to 1500. I think the default is 100 000

need it on a non covered wall to see it better

the other thing you can do is just have a bunch of named cameras on your template, and then only use the ones you need

I avoid google, as it tries to use credentials, rather than allow one to log in with typed in credentials. I cant count the number of times I've been sent google links to my email, only to click on them, and cannot get in because google thinks I should be using some other gmail credentials.

MS teams used to have a similar problem, but I havent had any issues in the past couple years.

Zoom may be simple, but I've never been left out of a meeting.

From Help: You can control what displays in the footprint using the Layer Display Options dialog.

I dont think that works for the eaveline of the floor above, but I will try it out

those both look really good. 

are these just plants:

If you look at the image, there is an opening on the other side of the stairs, I need to close that without impeding the space under the stairs

why not put a wall there?
