  1. Just use the door tools and the components panels to spec what you need.
  2. Unless you have all those completed before separating the units.
  3. One idea, and I haven't tried it yet but.... How are you separating the units? Is there 1 common wall or did you leave an air gap? If there is a way to break the walls at that gap and make a small "invisible" wall or a wall marked as "no room definition" then perhaps....perhaps....it would read that air gap as a break in the units and give the multiple living area tags.
  4. Area polylines reporting to a custom schedule.
  5. You moved the sink off the cabinet. You learned the hard way to not do that.
  6. Thanks @rgardner I'm in north central Indiana but we are licensed in Illinois. Shoot me an email and I will have a look. joeymdp@gmail.com
  7. I assume you placed long crickets in there to shed the water in those valleys. At least I hope you did.

    I have an off the shelf HP with an older nVidia card, so I can't use RTRT, but other than that I am using it for multiple projects right now. Seems fine for me.
  9. I don't have it. I know nothing of Ruby or macros other than the OOB macros.
  10. Almost 17 years with Chief and still can't simply get the length of a board to show as feet - inches. Anyone know why this aspect is so far behind? Is there a macro?
  11. Look in the roof dbx. Make sure you migrate your user library forward as well.
  12. Start at the foundation level, and work your way up. You need to specify in the wall set up what aligns with the outer edge of the foundation and it will start to make more sense.
  13. 2 Things. 1) Try reversing the Main Layer of the interior wall to match the main outside layer of the exterior walls. If that doesn't work... 2) simply grab that segment of foundation wall in 3D and drag it up to snap into place at the correct elevation.
  14. Go to the wall definition and change the side of the wall that receives the dims. ...all the back to versions before the X....
  15. Not if their smart enough to keep the architect/designer on to watch over silliness like that.
  16. You will also be shocked at how often...well, maybe...at how often roofing contractors over estimate roofing materials and end up cutting into their profits. I will tell you 100% that the Chief numbers for roofing materials are accurate. They can add 10% for waste, or what ever percent they use, and they love saving $$ and time.
  17. If that's the case, your model is the problem. My guys love that I can shoot them quick numbers right from the model. Need roofing? Give me 5 seconds. Need flooring? Give me another 5 seconds.
  18. Maureen's method would give you that wall if auto roofs are turned on, I would just draw a roof plane and set the fascia height to match the main roof and your done. Size accordingly and add the bracket.
  19. I doubt it can be done automatically. The CAD standard are for vertical dims to be read from the right side of the page.
  20. Did you select the wall and rebuild the framing for it? Perhaps it shot up there when you turned off the FLAT CEILING option and added the ceiling plane.
