custom property seen in schedules but not in plans

Rastko Pecar — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 06:41:28 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have a custom property that displays the diameter of openings in my project.

In schedules the values come trough and are shown, but in my plans they do not. I only get the property name shown in my label.

Does anybody know what could be the issue?

Cheers

Operating system used: Windows 28.2.1 (5101)

Hi!

A few possible issues I can think of:

Label is not attached to an element
Label is attached to an element which is not classified correctly / the element doesn't have the property available
There are some properties for which a 3D model generation is necessary (e.g. window area in a room). These properties are not available for labels. So if you use them in an expression, the expression is not evaluated when displayed in a label. (See this topic for more details: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Graphisoft-Technology-Preview/Expressions-Labels-and-Graphic-Override-Rules/m-p/622370)

Please double check this points and let us know if the issue still persists.

Ive checked and:

- label is connected

- classification is not an issue since the values come trough in schedules

Ive simplified the expression which made the property work for different kinds of openings. It reads the opening shape and based on this returns the hole ϕ or b/h value with added prefix and suffix. I took out the IF statements relating to opening shape and the expression works in schedules and labels too.

Curious one...

That's weird. The opening shape is available in labels (at least in AC28 which I tested):

Can you share your expression for us to try?
And which AC version are you using?

Sorry for not replying. The problem still persists:

In the screen capture above you can see the label, where the bottom line should display the property value. On the left we have element properties tab where property value is displayed correctly (blue highlight).

Im using AC 28.3.0. (6000) INT

This particular property and others that read element dimensions and format them into appropriate format depending on element type & shape worked when I created them. Ive tested them in plan and schedules at least. Must be something I did in the template that broke the property value display in autotext label. What could it be?

Property also works in property manager if I click "Evaluate...":

It's a bit tough because I'm not familiar with your language.

Does 'd1 - stebri in preboji' work in labels?

Could you export your expressions and upload here for us to test?

Best,
Bernd

Hi @BerndSchwarzenbacher , thank you for your will to help. I couldn't figure out where the problem is so I re-wrote the whole property set which now works.

All the best,

Rastko
