Joe_Carrick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Chief doesn't provide Room Labels for Section/Elevation Views. But here's a pretty neat way to get them:1. Set up the Defaults for Room Finish Schedules to include Room Name and any other data you want. You will also want to suppress the Column Headings and the Title - and set the Default Display attributes such as text style, etc.2. Select a Room in a Section View and click on the Icon for "Create Schedule For Room"3. Place the Schedule in the Room.4. This will result in a single line. If you only have the Room Name then that's probably all you need to do and it will remain "live".5. Otherwise, Convert the Schedule to Text and then to Rich Text.6. Now you can edit the Rich Text - adding and subtracting information as well as formatting it. Note: As Text or Rich Text the data is no longer live so if you make changes to the model you would need to redo the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Joe, I can't seem to select a room in section view. I use back clipped sections. How do you do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Try the "Cross Section/Elevation" instead. Note: It also works for Interior Elevations - so you can include finish information, Floor & Ceiling Hts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyToo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Good to know, Joe. It's macro-like in that it automatically updates for any changes you may make to the room (unless and until you decide to convert it to text, as you pointed out).
