  1. Why not make the symbol from a bifold door to begin with. Set as fixture interior, inserts into wal, rotate symbol. Add a door way. Still need two symbols on seperate layers but ... Plan with door used to make symbol and open symbol in doorway. Still need to make other symbol vert bifold.zip
  2. You can do it using Edit area- one story is not too bad but you can also import plan views by selecting a plan and default sets that you export from plan to go with them. This is often easier than moving the building. Note you want to replace duplicates NOT rename or it gets messy. To do what you ask- first import defaults if applicable, then check structure settings (they don't import) I also always check the roof defaults and any wall overrides to roof. Unlock and dsiplay all layers that you want,then edit area all visible, select, copy, paste and hold position.
  3. Well that is faster, but there is no plastic on the product from RAS and rectangle bin has no divider but there is a lip around it.
  4. 5 minutes including mistake so had to redo frame once. Plan included convert to final symbol on our own. (last one Rob) RAS PO.plan
  5. Same answer as given for earlier post.
  6. If you place a 3/4" thick panel, FLUSH inset into. 3/4" thick side it would naturally appear flush, right? So then if you were to recess it some would protrude into the cabinet, right? Ergo create a thinner panel and offset the Y origin, save to library.
  7. Yeah. Odd, had this happen 4 seperate times yesterday. Fist time figured it was pilot error, by the 4th was annoyed. Opened up same plan this morning intending to record, did exactly the same operations as yesterday but no longer happening. Don't know what or why but happy about it.
  8. Alter a symbols stretch zones, resize the symbol, click ok. It automatically gets added to the library as a new symbol. Problem is that the new symbol retains the stretch zones. When making generations of a symbol this is a pain. Have to delete that, click the one in plan and make it a new symbol to have it start with fresh stretch planes. Is there a way to turn this off? I can see no reason I would ever want this to happen, just dumb IMO.
  9. Use two cabinets- one with side as opening, overlap them a bit.
  10. If you need the look of having a door frame on the face then make a door symbol from a shelf, change Y origin so it can be inserted into the back of the cabinet.
  11. There is a difference if you work primarily from the User Catalog as the OP does, and I do. When accessing the library from a DBX in X14 and you have a saved filter in use that filter applied. Image below the User Filter was on prior to opening DBX There is a down side to that if you don't know how the filters work -if the object currently listed in the DBX is not found with the filter on you won't see it. I suppose this could be a problem for some newbies? X15- the saved filter is dropped completely in favor of what the program has decided for you, your saved filters are not accessible in that DBX all of which leaves you to rummage around or use the start clicking your way in the search.
  12. No idea why other than it said there was a problem importing one entity, was not imported. In a Cad Detail for you. imported cad.plan
  13. Like Robert suggests but if you want to be a bit more precise... After placing light on floor below.... Take a back clipped section through the side and a 3d cutaway so you can see directly. Set them up side to side so you see both. Transform replicate to get the light in the general area but below the ceiling you want. Get the position left to right and front to back in the space ( in floor plan using reference display) Go to section Measure the angle of the stairs/ceiling. Open light symbol rotate on the X axis 90 so it is vertical click ok (easier to use the angle you measured.) Then open symbol again, rotate x axis again this time using the angle you measured (in the case of what I show it was Minus the angle. Use tape measure tool to see how far the edge is from the ceiling Transform replicate to move the light on the Z axis using the dimension you measured.
  14. I started with a cabinet, but you can also just make a custom counter. Add molding, remove from edges where not wanted. Did not have a quick oval drop that inserted to dropped in plan, altered size. Added ellipse, shaped to match tub, used that to make hole in counter. Move tub Should add I adjusted tub a smidge. curved tub.plan
  15. Use a countertop instead. Add the molding, adjust position, remove from selected edge anywhere you don't want the molding.
  16. On Bain site click professionals tab, technical tools, go to BIMobject Cloud. will take you here Create a free account. For that tub they have rfa (Revit) symbol. Download that then the options are: Install trial version of Revit light, or rent Revit light by the month. Last I knew you can rent by the month, then stop and re-activate later. It's been a while since I did that so check. Once you have the RFA file open you can export it, more info and a link to supported file types
  17. FWIW I went to site to look into just hacking the lavatory faucet which I've done with others.
  18. It's here https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T4777.html#documents-and-specs
  19. I can make all the labels show by group selecting cabinets, unchecking Suppress label. Then in schedule checking use label. However I can't get callouts to show no matter if I try to "use both label and callout" or just "use callout". Unless @Dermot has a solution for that I'd send it in- I'm not having the same issue on any plans I have either brought forward or new.
  20. You have "Suppress Label' Checked in all of your cabinets.
  21. Drew divider, opened the two new room, uncheck ceiling over this room.
  22. Room divider with rooms no flat ceiling above works
