Automatic Dimensioning of Elements in a Window Schedule

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:38:24 GMT

I am just trying to source the setting that allows all windows appearing in the window schedule that will allow the height and width of the wall opening to display in the schedule.

Ive searched on the forum but perhaps the terminology Im using is not suitable.

What do you mean by "source the settings"?

Hi Laszo,

When I view the Window List under Elements in the schedule section of the project map there is a section called 3d front view.

When I double click on any one of the windows in the schedule it lets me dimension the window.(see attached)

My question is, can I change a setting somewhere so that the dimensioning of all windows is automatic?

Thanks Laszlo. Thats what I was after.

The key thing I had to change was under the 'Apply Format Options To' heading which was set to header instead of preview.

Cheers for your help

OK, I get it.
One trick about this is that if you click to select a cell in the Schedule you want to specify, the 'Apply Format Options To' field will switch to the correct value, reflecting the type of cell selected.
