Schedule - combine two criteria?

Mats_Knutsson — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 13:07:43 GMT

Hi!
I wonder if there's a way to make a door schedule showing doors that begin with "S" or "D"? Say I have 10 types of doors all with different IDs and I want to list two of them.
? Mats

Mats,

This is just one more example of the totally screwed up criteria logic in the interactive schedules that GS has never bothered to fix since it was introduced and is related to this post:

In your case, the criteria panel will not allow an "OR condition when you click the "+" sign for "starts with"... it will only allow an "AND" condition. This is absolutely stupid and one of countless bugs in the criteria panel. Consider: what is the meaning of "ID starts with "X" AND ID starts with "Y"? It is always false for everything...so why allow that?! What you want to do is a typical, useful query.

The I.S. falls apart as soon as you ask for anything that isn't really simple. One of many 80% solutions in ArchiCAD... Complain to your reseller and to GS...

Karl
