However, I can't get a Schedule listing the total parking spaces if the objects are placed on the worksheet. So, is this just a limitation of the IS or a bug?<BR /> <BR /> May have to go back and add some layers to the Site file.</T></DIV> Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:37:23 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Schedule-limitation/m-p/189382#M22791 Anonymous 2009-09-16T22:37:23Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Schedule-limitation/m-p/189383#M22792 Details and worksheets are really meant to convert items to 2D info although you can place a 3D library part in them. I reproduced your results, schedules don't read what is in worksheets and details. <BR /> I would go back to layers to get the results you want.
