Custom Door - Schedule Views

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:49:35 GMT

I have created a custom door which I have used for a while.
My problem is that when I come to do drawn schedules, I cannot see any views. For example 'View from opening side'

Is there a bit of code I need to add for this to appear?

Thanks
Tom

Are other doors showing OK?
Is it just the views not showing or is all other info missing as well?
Is it a complete door and frame you have created or just a custom door panel.

All I can think of is you have a renovation status set for your door that the schedule is not using (all info will be missing not just the views).
i.e schedule is using 'Existing' reno filter but door is se to 'New'.

Attached is an image of a door I have scripted (a long time ago) and I just quickly added a custom door panel.
I see no problems unless I mess with the reno filters.

Thanks Barry,
I checked the renovation status and it is the same as other doors which appear fine.
It is a door I have fully scripted (no standard door works for our requirements)
I was hoping there was a bit of code I forgot to add. I will keep digging.
Cheers

The only bit of GDL code I know of that affects schedules is GLOB_CONTEXT=6

I use it for my electrical objects so that they do not rotate in the schedule.

if GLOB_CONTEXT = 6 then
SYMB_ROTANGLE = 0
endif

Also it can be used to show (or not) window shutters, casings, trims, etc.
GS seem to use this in their window objects.

But unless you have used this in your script I can't see this is the problem.

Do you have the correct sub-type selected for your door?
If you have it as a 'wall opening' you can still place it as a door but it will not schedule.

I have used Door (Wall) subtype. I wonder if I should try one of the gs sub types.
Hmmmmm.....
Quite frustrating

No that should be fine.
Door (Wall) is all I use.

Changing the subtypes with change the default parameters in your object which will be a problem if you have used them.

I'm running out of ideas.
