X7 Wall Labels - Tip

[Joe_Carrick]

I have my Wall Types named so I can easily see what the construction is.  I have defined the default Label for Exterior Walls and Interior Walls as:

 

Wall-%floor_number%.%wall_id%  --  %wall_type%

so that when I draw walls the label shows me what I'm using.

I also have most of my Wall Types saved in folders in my Library so I can just select what I want to use at any time.

This takes a little bit of setup but it works for me.  Note:  The Label is the name that will be given to the Wall Detail in the Project Browser.  That's a nice additional feature.

Very nice. I have never used the wall labels but see how this would add a nice value to their usefulness.

 

Joe, maybe this thread should move to the new forum heading for Tips?

Like both the tip and the suggestion it go to the tips forum.

Joe, did you manually move the label to the outside of the wall? Mine is defaulting to the center of the wall.

For Exterior Walls I set the Default y = -6

I left the Interior Walls at y = 0

 

It's really your choice.  There are different Defaults for the various Wall Categories.

Thanks.

I like it!

Not sure I would use that but I may now that I know about it.

 

Thank You
