BKEn10c Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 As a new person.. I am having a couple more snags: DOOR OPENINGS: I want to show the dotted line for door openings. When I turn the header layer on, of course it turns it on everything, including the standard doors. I only want the header layer turned on for door openings. Is that possible? ROOM LABELS: There are some room labels, like hallways, where I would rather not have the room dimensions shown. Is there a way to turn off the room dimensions in a per situation basis? Thanks!

DRAWZILLA Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I turn off room labels and use a macro for the room labels, I have more control that way. I also use a header macro label for openings. Search macro's here on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER - I have not figured out how that will assist me with my main goal: How can I get the headers to show on doorways, without having headers show on every door? THANKS in ADVANCE!

Joe_Carrick Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 You are probably going to have to just use a CAD Box for that. Chief just doesn't have that fine a control over what "headers" show. For Reflected Ceiling Plans I use a Room Polyline that I put on a "Ceiling Boundary" layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - that seems like such a basic drawing need. Wouldn't we always want to show a dashed line to signify openings in our floor plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes the programming effort to satisfy everyone is more work than it's worth. This might be one of those cases - or it might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
