Someone knowes why?<BR /> My steel schedule is like this: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 18:25:31 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Schedule-of-a-steel-construction/m-p/164369#M18790 Anonymous 2011-01-25T18:25:31Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Schedule-of-a-steel-construction/m-p/164370#M18791 In this way I add Mass criterium into the schedule.

This requires GDL editing with a little scripting and will need to be added to each of the parts you are using.<BR /> <BR /> EDIT: I was assuming the function was not already there.
