HisBuildersLLC Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hello all, I'm using the schedules in chief to get RFQs from our suppliers and so far it has worked great, I'm able to go in and manipulate the information displayed to show our supplier exactly what he needs to see to give us an accurate quote... When it comes to ordering our doors though, I've hit a little snag. We order our exterior doors with the framing lumber and the interior doors later... except pocket doors. We let to get the pocket door casing with with our framing materials. So here is my problem, chief is drawing the pocket doors with a "swing direction" and it is assigning identical doors different numbers in the schedule, I'm afraid that this might cause unnecessary confusion to our supplier. (Pocket doors are reversible, and shouldn't necessarily have a direction assigned to them.) I want to know if there is a way to remove the 'L' or 'R' direction from the automatically generated size? Here is an example (see attached screen shot), in the home we are building we have 6 identical pocket doors, but on the schedule four are assigned the number 'D02' and the size '2868 L', and two are assigned the number 'D03' and the size'2868 R'. They are all the exact same door, right? I'd like them to all have the same assigned number and size regardless of which wall it slides into, just to avoid confusion down the line. A pretty trivial issue, but I'd like to find a solution. Any thoughts? Anything obvious I'm missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 any difference with doors will give you a separate listing. The doors you show are not identical as you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doors are assigned numbers based on the schedules' columns, I didn't realize that until now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The L and R on Pocket Doors indicates the side they slide too , viewed from the Exterior Side I believe. That maybe why CA sees 4 R and 2 L in your current plan even though they are really identical ITRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
