zowie123 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hey all, Has anyone tried creating macros for elevation dimensions like: Ridge 2nd floor plate ht. 2nd floor. HDR. 2nd floor Platform Ht. (Unfinished floor) 1st floor plate ht. 1st floor. HDR. 1st floor Platform Ht. (Unfinished floor) Top of Stem wall Bottom of Footing? Just wondering if it can be done and if it's worth having.. I always have to go back and reference the DBX for all these heights, if I had some macros on the elevation It would at least jog my memory. Thanks for considering, and cheers!

Joe_Carrick Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Macros could be done for those things, but they only work in Plan View, not in Elevation. Some of them are standard Chief macros for Rooms. Others would need to be done using Ruby. OTOH, you can dimension Elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zowie123 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks Joseph, when you put it that way it does sound easier to just do it the old way. I've tried Auto Elevation Dimensions, but It takes more time to figure out and discard all the dimensions I don't need than just doing them manually.

That's really a matter of going in to the Dimension Defaults and getting it set up right so you don't get so many extraneous dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
