Hi - I am using x14 version of chief architect, and I am trying to do a bathroom elevation and show the tile as well. I am new to interior design and chief architect. I've drawn on 2D polylines to show the tile material and location, but then it covers up the plumbing fixture on the wall. I'm not sure what the best way is to show the tile in an elevation. Do I have to add it to the 3D model, or can I just show it in 2D?
Thank you!

Cliffs Builders is the in-house home builder for The Cliffs private luxury communities in South and North Carolina. We are in need of additional help to convert existing pdf plans to workable Chief Architect models. Construction sets including site plans and renderings may also be desired. This would be contracted per project. Remote work is fine, must have your own Chief Architect license. We are on X15.

Hello everyone.
I'm a bit confused about how the "components" tab works in CA at the Specification panels, and I can't find a clear description of it either on the forum or in the CA Help. Could someone help me understand it?
My problem and my desired outcome is the following:
I have to design a French drain system around a slab. I want to put into the material list the pipes, the gravel around the pipes and the geotextile fabric around the gravel. The slab is quite big and has a complex shape, so I wanted to rely on the material list calculation rather then recalculation it by hand each time the plan is modified.
My idea was to use a polyline solid () for representing the gravel, and use its surface to represent the geotextile fabric. The quantity of gravel should be calculated based on the volume, and the area of the geotextile should be calculated based on the surface area of the cube. Maybe this is not the right approach, but I couldn't find a better solution.
When I assign the gravel material to the cube, I automatically get a component that is calculated based on the volume.
However, if I add another component to symbolize the geotextile, I can't use any macros for its surface area.
I tried using "= automatic_count" but it always returns 1. If I create a macro in the CAD -> Text -> Text Macro Management window, it always throws an "Evaluation error" message.
What determines the value returned by "= automatic_count"? And why can't I use it in a second component?
Thank you very much !

I recently updated to X15 and after doing so I have had a few problems. The last one I have to fix is my macro for auto cabinet label generation.
I am by no means a programmer and I barely understood ruby when I made this macro. I have been trying to relearn but I still can't figure out what my problem is.
I have attached my macro below and this is the error I have been getting:
Evaluation Error: Ruby TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String
Stack Trace:
from eval:10:in `eval'
from eval:10:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'
from eval:4:in `loop'
from eval:4:in `block in <main>'
Any help is apricated. Thanks in advance!
