madcowscarnival Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Where is the default information for the Room Label located? When I go into default settings->Floors and Rooms->Room Label I can add a macro (Room Height in particular), but cannot see the "Room Type" or "Room Dimensions" macros. When I place the Height macro in the "Text" area, it places this information on the same line after the "type" label <Room Type><Room Height> <Room Dimensions> If I place the height on the second line, it places the information below the label, but above the dimensions. <Room Type> <Room Height> <Room Dimensions> I am trying to place the Room Height at the bottom of the label. How can this be accomplished? A follow-up question: is it possible to "refresh" the existing labels on the drawing to have them display the new label data without opening the dbx, turning off "show label", closing, re-opening, reselecting "show label"? I'm not having any luck with CA KB or Forum search. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcowscarnival Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Solver, thanks for the reply. When I place those three macros in that text area, it results in a label that generates this: <Room Label><Room Label> <Room Dimensions> <Ceiling Height> <Room Dimensions> What I'm trying to do is simply place the <Room Height> label below the <Room Dimensions> in the default room label. As is, using that default text area, placing those macros inserts them between the Room Label and Room Dimension in the default label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcowscarnival Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 This isn't smoothly done, but it demonstrates my issue. When I add macros, they insert between the room label that's already there. If I try to control the labels that always show up with layer controls it grabs the "always on" labels as well as referenced macros.

madcowscarnival Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 I did see your post Solver, and had tried the layer control. Somehow when I performed this action, it seemed the layer control-> "Rooms, Interior Dimensions" turned off the default label as well as my macro label for room dimensions. Have repeated this morning more thoroughly, labels are now functioning as intended. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 CA shows the Interior Dimensions by default , turn them off in the ALDO so they don't interfere, and then use the Macro in the label for them above the Ceiling height. You don't need the Room type macro as CA adds that automatically...if the Room Name is different than the Type you may want to use it though?
