Wow, didn't think there would be a problem with schedules, was under the impression schedules and material lists were some of the strong suits.
I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be any intelligence when it comes to titles, call out links, etc but thought I was perhaps missing some macro knowledge or such. I actually find the whole detailing very confusing and assuming I'm doing it wrong, but every time I create a detail from a view (by zooming in on the portion I want) it copies the whole cross section to the detail. I then have to erase everything that was outside of my view. I know, told you I was doing it wrong. Haven't found any call-out bubbles yet so I did it like this, will dig deeper.
Biggest problem with changing software is that one is set on certain ways and only looking at what seems better in the new toy. I really like Chief so far, but some things are, should I say "interesting", like setting wall heights via a room definitíon. I can't find a way to define levels either so I assume the concept doesn't exist in the same form as AC/Revit.
Funny, just realized the thread was Chief vs Autocad, and not Archicad!
