Door Schedule by Stories incorrect

Laura Yanoviak — Tue, 22 May 2007 17:07:34 GMT

We have a rather large building, and so created an IS for each story in order to generate the door schedules faster. Negative Stories (-1, -2, etc.) schedule fine, but the "Story 5" criteria lists doors on Story 6, "Story 4" lists doors on Story 5, etc.

I suspect this is a bug associated with the differences between the US an INT versions (the US version does not have a "Story 0"). I also suspect that the "Story 0" criteria will list doors on Story 1, although haven't had the time to test this yet.

Anyone else run across this?

I haven't seen this, Laura, but wonder if the doors on the 6th floor that show up on the 5th schedule are in a wall whose base (home) is in the 5th story?

They are not (although this was my first thought) -- it appears to be consistently off by one Story (except those Stories with a negative value as stated previously).

Hi Laura,
I know Duane Valencia was having some trouble with doors on the wrong story. Have you tried running the schedule on all the floors, just to see what it does? How have you excluded the doors on the various stories. I usually have more luck when I call up doors based on their door ID rather than the story they are on. Of course, this only works if your door numbers have some tie to the story they are on.

Well, it works: stipulating the criteria "Story = 0" lists all of the doors of the First Story. All doors are being listed correctly by Story, it's just that the Story criteria is off by 1.

Well, okay, the rest of the world.

Every time I work in Sinapore I get confused as her in Australia 1 storey is the upper level of a 2 storey house and in Sinapore ground floor is the 1st Storey
