Painting walls to a color and having them always wrap without fail. Place a psolid on the floor, select a library color, use adjust material. When that opens select the color, add to custom colors, close. To change ALL the walls in a building - select any wall with adjust materials, when it opens it should be "drywall" select the custom color you added. You can do this without the first step and just select a color from the color picker. I usually need a specified BM color so use the first method. For a single wall or walls in a single room you can copy wall type and copy drywall material then apply the new material to the wall type..

For bookmarks, internal links to page in a PDF I use Bluebeam PDF Revu. Once the pdf is opened in BB you can set bookmarks be page region. I select the page number area, add a dash, then add the page label region, click OK (or make bookmarks?). That makes bookmark to each page listed with the pg number and title. Makes iPad users happy. I'd expect other pdf programs have that ability.

what Dermot Said- this is just cabinets, few minutes using wainscot panel I had, few more to make a new one with a template plan I use. Open cabinet DBX and check all faces, and accessory panel molding tab.

Down and dirty-export PBR view, then change rendering technique to line drawing, adjust all but line weight to 0, export with transparent image checked save as PNG. Layout import pretty picture, then import line drawing. All works best at higher DPI and edge smoothing on-rough idea here at low DPI (didn't already have any similar in wood so quickie)

You deleted the 0 layer correct? Then I'd try rebuild walls floor and ceiling, and rebuild 3D. IF that didn't work go to archives and fetch a file done prior to making a mess. Then follow the directions I posted first-right click a wall that is the correct color on both sides and select "SET AS DEFAULT" then new walls will match it.

Depends on which schedule, best asked in Q &A with specific

Get rid of 0 wall layer. Paint wall, lot of options there, then set as default.

Not really, when you tab what you get is the CAD block which is why you can't change the label once inserted. -
Fixture Components in Cabinets to Fixture Schedule

You cannot tab into a sink once it's inserted into a cabinet. It will show up in the fixture schedule. If you want to change the name you must do that to the sink once copied to the user library. The option of floating the sink in plan and then moving it works and gives more control. (it's also the only way to get two sinks into a vanity) -
Yes regular cabinet BUT if adjacent to cabinets with doors you need a "zero filler" or whatever the maker calls it (if they offer one). OR a filler to create a larger gap. Just placed on an angle reveals as narrow as shown the doors won't work. Check with supplier

I'm planning a new build this year and asked at the show about video cards, specifically if anything changed or would change regarding the Radeon Pro cards. Answer I got was get a card that supports real time raytrace. Since they have no idea of what the supposed upcoming RT on AMD is an RTX card was suggested, especially for rendering.

Nowadays I use 3/4" which is easy in CA, more than that gets tricky and exactly what it looks like depends on framed or frameless (and if frameless check with the maker to make sure you get what you want) Plan attached.

It sounds as if you took a 3D view sent to layout as update on demand, then moved the camera sent to layout update on demand,...etc. So you only used one camera. Chief will update those views when printing. Since you used only one camera they will all look the same. IF that is the case then either send to layout using current screen as image OR export the view and then import it. The latter is used if you need better DPI than you get just using the send as image. IF that is not the case the best way to get an answer is to backup entire project from the layout, send to zip and post it. Note that the file must be under 25MB once zipped so if large plan you will need to trim the plan of non essentials.

When you say "change something" ; are you adding, removing, moving, or altering objects in the kitchen plan? and you expect that to not happen to those objects in another view? Just guessing here.
-
Here's how I do it. Then if you save these to your user library you can just drag a doorstyle onto the framed drawers to change JUST those to something different. Changing drawer fronts.mp4
-
Even if it were available that would change ALL the doors on the cabinet not just the top ones. Make a copy of the door style in user library and name it so you can identify it in the materials tab. Change the panel material there. Since you're cabinets appear to all be painted instead of using the default it's likely you need to change the species for the door frame too. I just used a framed door panel for now since that door is not on my system. Might look into taking advantage of using defaults more, also might want to purge your plan materials and merge some.
-
Did you try closing all and re-opening? Earlier today I was unable to paste a cabinet from one X12 plan into another. I tried clearing the clipboard but no go. Closed and re-opened and it was fine so not reproducible.

Just build it backwards plan attached Might want to consider attending free webinar next week Angle back cab.plan

There are several each with a downside. First one left is easiest-change horizontal separations to side panel inset specify slab. That should give you an idea of what to try next. As you try variations on the left one you'll get the idea of the problems and alternative answers. Far right is a custom side panel (one for each side) and a hacked back (next to try would be a custom sub-base/toe) OR you can decide it's not worth the trouble (hasn't been worth the trouble for you to dig in to try everything possible yet has it?) and leave it alone. (A big reason I don't like doing videos is that most often they teach how to do one thing and keep folks from digging into to how and why things happen.)

Referencing Several .plan files in a single Layout
MarkMc replied to kwhitt's topic in General Q & A
select layout box, click relink, browse -
I have no idea if there is a decent video, never watched one for it. Learned it all by trial and watching Scott Harris presentations/trainings. After seeing where you had gone I thought about doing one, instead decided to do a webinar. Here: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/25146-cabinet-configurationhacking-webinar/
