Whenever I open the specification dialog of a room label in Chief Architect X17, Home Designer 2026, or a prior version, this Information message displays:
What does this mean?
In Chief Architect X17, Home Designer 2026, and prior versions, this message box displays to inform you that although the Room Label Specification dialog is a type of text dialog, the text of the room label cannot be modified here.
If you want to change the name of a room in these versions, you can do so on the General panel of the Room Specification dialog.
If you wish to add text to all of your room labels, you can do so in the Room Label Defaults dialog in select products, which can be accessed through the Default Settings
. Text added in the Room Label Defaults dialog will appear after the Room Name in any room labels that are created after you make the change.
If you need the change to affect room labels that already exist, delete the existing room labels, then check Show Room Label on the General panel of the Room Specification dialog.
If you would prefer that this message not display in the future, check the box beside "Do not show this message again" in the lower left corner of the Information box.
