danilo Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 did any encounter a label discrepancy in windows? a window 6040 . My framers always read this has 6ft x 48" like when you actually go to order on a store. but chief architect interpreted has 5ft by 48" witch is wrong. does any one experience this issue ?

Rookie65 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I had some confusion with clients when I first started. What I do now is specify the label as %width%x%height%", and it will put the (") symbol in the description. Or you can put RO before it if you want it to read that way so it comes out as RO 60" x 48". I also put the style window in the description..DH, CSMT, FXD, GLDG, etc. Chief just does them as a default in inches. It doesn't make it wrong. Just need to know how the program does things.

Danilo, is this the same danilo that uses my templates? I just checked my systems across all versions, no such issue. Even the mulled unit shows correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie65 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Doors and windows are typically called out in width by height as a common practice, at least from what I was taught and always seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

builtright3 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Just my thoughts because I have to keep it simple and everyone on the same page to save confusion. I direct everyone to read off the WINDOW SCHEDULE. You can add all the columns there for what you need. Framer should follow RO column 60”x42” Window company should follow SIZE column 5036 Homeowner should follow INCHES column 60”x42” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that once, then the development authority told me to put them on the plans to get them approved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I recently had a contractor put a 5' door where the plans had called out 6068. I asked him if the door was 5'8 high also? Honestly, it is a lack of construction education in the U.S.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para-CAD Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Hey Rene, Yep, I bought your X14 template, but I will need to complete a few more plans before I upgrade to your latest goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
