The Royal Handbook
A plain “what do I click” companion to every tool in the CADAKAY KING CHEST.
How it always works
Click the ribbon button → a dark dialog opens → make your picks → hit the action button. Most tools stay open so you can run again. Nothing changes the model until you press the action. A ▾ means the button has a dropdown of related tools.
Royal Courtsheets & views
Title Stamp — Swaps the title block on many sheets at once.
Royal Dispatch — Builds a reusable issue package and exports it.
A dispatch is an official message sent OUT by a rider who doesn’t wait for a reply.
View Aligner — Copies a scope box / crop and stacks viewports in the same spot on every sheet.
Sheet Heir — Duplicates a whole set of sheets (with their views) in one move.
An heir inherits everything the parent had — here, a sheet’s views and settings.
Sheet Forge — Bulk-creates sheets and drops views/details onto them in a grid.
A forge is where things are made, in quantity, to a pattern.
Kingdomworksets & the firm
Firm standards, locked down — Your office folder can be pinned so nobody repoints their own seat, and publishing limited to named managers.
You decide the standards; IT decides who can change the lock. Kingdom tier.
King Workset — Creates standard worksets and assigns elements onto them.
Queen D's Warden — A live roster of who's on the firm standard (manager).
A warden keeps watch over a place and answers for its condition.
Sovereigntranslators (map old → firm standard)
Style Translator — Maps line styles to your firm's and converts every line.
Text Translator — Same click-to-map for text & dimension types.
Content Translator — Same for fill patterns, materials, line patterns, fill regions.
Scriptoriumdetails & CAD
Detail Codex — Pulls typical details from a master file and keeps them synced.
A codex is a bound book of collected knowledge — the ancestor of every book since.
Detail Codex — Linked View — Builds live linked detail sections off the master's cell grid.
Detail Smith — The reverse: files your project's details into the master library.
A smith makes and repairs. The Codex hands details out; the Smith stocks it.
Insert CAD-REV — Imports a DWG detail into a fresh drafting view.
Translate CAD-REV — Converts the exploded CAD to firm standards in one pass.
CAD Scour — Deletes leftover exploded-CAD lines/text/hatch.
Guardstructure, dimensioning & annotation
Header Guard — Places centered lintel/header beams over openings, scheduled and tagged.
A guard stands over something vulnerable. Here, the opening in a wall.
Portcullis — Auto-sleeves pipes/ducts through beams/walls/floors; re-checks them after MEP updates.
The iron grille that drops in a castle gateway — the thing that governs every opening through a wall.
Steel Marshal X — Cleans beam ends for RAM.
A marshal draws up the ranks before a battle: everything in order before it moves.
Sigil — Tags a whole category in the view at once, with your firm's tag.
A personal seal pressed into wax to say whose a thing is. Which is what a tag does.
King's Measure — Auto-dimensions grids, walls & openings, or along a drawn line.
A king’s measure was the standard length the realm was held to — one ruler, one answer.
Royal Order — Nudges stacked tags/dim text apart and redraws leaders.
An order in both senses: a command, and things put back in order.
Royal Order — Align — Lines the selected notes and tags up on the one you pick, and evens out the gaps.
The axis is read off how the notes are already spread, so there is no direction to pick and no ortho to get wrong — unlike AutoCAD’s MLEADERALIGN, which it replaces. It has no dialog on purpose: it competes with copy-and-paste, so it has to beat Ctrl+V.
Grid Sentinels — Flips/cycles grid bubbles or shows them on both ends.
A sentinel is posted to stand and watch one spot, and not wander off it.
Bubble Jog — Steps crowded grid bubbles off the line so overlapping heads read apart on the print.
Spacing is measured in inches on the printed sheet, not model feet — a bubble that clears its neighbour at 1/8" does not clear it at 1/4". The dialog states the view scale for that reason.
Slab Scribe — Recreates one element's sketch as another category — a roof slab becomes a floor slab — and splits a floor in two along a straight cut.
A split carries the slab's shape editing across, which cutting destroys — both halves sample the original surface at the cut line, so they meet without a step.
Gatekeeper — Replaces pasted-in arch doors/windows/openings with your firm's opening families, auto-sized to the wall cut.
The one who decides what is allowed through the gate, and what gets turned away.
KD On-Axis — Finds and straightens off-axis walls/groups.
KD On-WallJoin — Shows the join at every wall end in one list, and lets you turn it on or off without hunting for grips.
KD On-Align — Lines up anything you select — walls, columns, windows, any category — on the one you selected last.
Line Tally — Totals line + line-based-family lengths, grouped how you choose.
A tally was a notched stick for counting — the oldest running total there is.
Chartertext & templates
View Standard — Apply / compare / push view templates, or batch-rename views.
Decreestandards & cleanup
Royal Steward — The firm-standards + license hub (free — always reachable).
The steward runs the household day to day so the king doesn’t have to.
Kingdom Setup — Project-info defaults + shared-parameter binding.
Parameter Vault — Review and swap parameters across the model.
A vault is where the valuables are kept, and where you go to get them.
Family Forge — Replaces one family with another everywhere it's used.
Same forge, different metal: this one makes families.
View Purge — Safely deletes unused views/families.
Throne Roommodel health & time
BIM Pulse — A live health score with warnings, hygiene, and a trend chart.
Usage Radar — Shows which families/types are used vs. bloat.
Session Tracker — Your time per model / day / week.
Realm Check — A quick model + environment sanity check.
The realm is everything you hold. This asks how it’s holding up.
Royal Advisoraudit
BIM Advisor — A prioritized list of findings, each with the fix.
View Inspector — Read-only view audit (placed / referenced / orphan / on a sheet).
Proofmark — Proofs the set you are about to issue — revisions, sheets, filters, phases, tags, views and grids against linked models.
It is a triage, not a report: one row per check with a count, so a set with a hundred findings still reads in a dozen rows. The sheet checks refuse to run unscoped and hand back the scope values in use rather than quietly scanning every sheet.
Vaultdata
Schedule Chancellor — Brings a schedule in from another project with its calculated fields intact.
The chancellor keeps the records and holds the seal — the office that carries documents intact.
AI companionKingdom tier
Royal Herald — Opens an AI/MCP door so an assistant can read your model and run reports.
A herald carries messages between courts and announces what is happening.
