dimensioning

Anonymous — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:12:43 GMT

Trying to create a door schedule that shows quantity, R.O., Door/Panel Width. ArchiCad 14 keeps coming up with dimensions that read 6'-12"...what is that?

What I want is r.o. 2'-11" x 8'-2"; DR: 2'8" x 6'8", they have a transom. Anyone know the setting I need to change to get the schedule to spit this out?

Here are the schedule settings to get what you want. The rest is in the door settings.

If you look at my schedule below, notice the Nominal height dimension in both 1 windows. How/why is archicad coming up with 4'-12" dimensions...what the hey? what does this mean,

My client pointed this out and I felt stupid....

I was able to produce the 4'-12" display. It has to do a 4'-11 7/8" dim. that has been rounded up to 4'-12". I will post the details when I can tell exactly how it is done.

below are some settings I used to get a 4'-12" dimension to display in the window schedule. There are probably other ways too.
It would not take so much time to figure it out if the schedules would update while you have them open. It is a real frustration to have to close the schedule your working on, go to the Layout and watch the schedule update from there.

The 4'-12" display can be fixed by changing your choice of dimension settings in the View Settings for the schedule.

If you right click on the schedule in your Navigator-View Map, then click on View Settings you can change the dimension settings for that schedule.

It should not round off dimensions to 12" no matter what dimension setting you have but it does. At least you know how to fix it.

There are many other problems that stem form dimension settings being set by universal Project Preferences.

I hope they are fixing some of these problems soon.

Schedules were apparently not subjected to beta testing. ?
