building material criterion do'nt filter compsites in lists

Anonymous — Wed, 24 Aug 2016 21:33:16 GMT

hi I have a problem with assigning properties to composite elements (walls, slabs, roofs) based on building material criterion.

If I want to assign a property to all walls simple,composite or complex that use the same building material in one of their layers-skins , it cannot be done

can someone explain or check if it is a bug?

Can you post some screenshots that show exactly what you are trying to achieve, how you do it and what the result is?

I have uploaded a video on this link. Please notice at the end, when I reload the library, that the quanties of category 46 instead of being shown separetely they add up with 43 and you don't get description of 46

I don't think it is possible to do.
I think this is an ARCHICAD-wide limitation, there are several other places where skin-level control of elements would be useful, like skin-level renovation status control, or skin-level partial structure display control, or skin-level editing of composite geometry.

By the way, this criteria-based property file assignment is part of the old listing method which has not seen much development in the last 10 or so years since the Interactive Schedule was implemented in ARCHICAD. if you check the criteria lists, for example, you can see that there are a lot less options than in the Find & Select Dialog, or the Scheme Settings Dialog.

it seems that I will have to make a property object for each composite.

By the way did you know that autotext works inside descriptors?

The listing engine is much more powerful than IS

I attach a sample file of what I have achieved by now working with Erik Wilk's book

Yes, the old listing feature still has capabilities the Interactive Schedule still doesn't have. It is a pity it was not developed further and made into an even more powerful but more user-friendly feature.

I did not know about the Autotext thing (I have not used listing in a long time). Could you post a screenshot or two which shows the Autotext you use and the result you achieve? Some people may find it useful in the future.

do you mean ArchiCAD - From CAD to quantity survey?
