Adding information to schedule.

Anonymous — Tue, 06 May 2014 15:07:30 GMT

Hi everybody.

I wonder if there is a way to show the radius of a round wall?
Our Architect draw a lot of them and we need to schedule inside and outside radius.

Thank you

Unfortunately I don't see any such parameters available for schedule fields in the Scheme Settings Dialog.
I also cannot really suggest any workarounds since a Wall is not a GDL Object. With a GDL Object you could calculate the radius value, assign it to a parameter and list that parameter, with Walls this is not possible to do.

Even if you could do it you would have to place and ID tag on the plan so you could associate the walls with the radii in the schedule.
Forget the ID tag and just dimension the wall in the plan.

My next question is:
Can I list up the composite structure of the wall in schedule?
That would be perfect but i can't find it

When you create your new schedule you will want to make it a "Components" schedule.
Then you will be able to get some information regarding the components of the walls.
You will be able to get skin thickness and skin volume as well as the fill type plus more.
As well as all the regular wall fields such as height, length, layer, etc.

Hi
That almost helped me.
The problem is that then schedule divide all the cut fills into different sections and calculate needed information/cutfill.
I need one that can show the structure per wall from inside out,.
Example: (information from inside out)
Lets take a partition wall.
gypsum board
stud
gypsum board

Example: (information given from AC schedule)
gypsum board
stud

I am probably dreaming, but a possibility of getting a little sektion image of the wall like in composite structures window would be a dream come truth.

The only way you can list each skin separately is to turn off the option to "Show uniform items as a single entity".
Unfortunately you can't display a section of the wall.
