I am trying to add the the framing for the railing and newels to the framing schedule. is there a way to do that.

I don't think Chief Sees them as "Framing"  , check the Materials List ( ML) and see if they are there?

You could also tweak a Wall Schedule to show that information.

Thank you for your respond, I am a little new to this; a little hint how you did that please !

Please see image, I was able to get that far then I got stuck.

Thank you,

It is done using the "Custom Object Fields" for the Railing Wall. You need to go to the "Object Information" tab of the wall DBX ( Dialogue Box) and "Create New Field".  Most shown are straight up Chief "Object Specific" macro values but some need a little adjustment depending on how you would like the values displayed.  I will post a few examples below.

 

 

to display in decimal ft.

 

 

to display in inches.

 

 

straight use of macro value.

 

Then add those new columns to your wall schedule.

 

Let me know if that makes sense and works for you.

Sorry I meant to show you how to round off the decimal ft values.  This should have been the first example.
