Djordje is right.
If your next questions is "How do I exclude a door from the Calculated door schedule?" .... then try this:

Give the door(s) you want to exclude from the schedule an "Element ID" of NIS (not in schecule) and then set that "element ID" as an excluded criteria.

Marc,
I have tried to locate the Element ID from the additional parameters DB without luck, and further tried excluding doors using the zone name without luck. If you have time can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Scott

Ohh, yea.... I have a foot in 9 and a little toe in 10 .... this was all done in AC9.

Thanks Marc,
I see in the Criteria section of your Scheme Settings for the Door Schedule you have added the parameter 'Element ID', and that you're on a Mac. My settings on the PC are a little different, but I cannot seem to locate the Element ID parameter from the Additional Parameters Dialog Box (when selecting any door) in the Criteria section. The Element ID does show up in the lower portion of the Settings DB under General, but that is for listing only in the Fields section of the Scheme Settings. Where did you find the Element ID for Criteria and not Fields?
Thanks,
Scott

Hey Marc,
Our Scheme Settings DB's are different. BTW, your's looks much nicer and seems to be more user friendly. Unless I'm missing something, I don't think AC10 on a PC can do what you have posted for AC9 on a Mac. I'm starting to get a little disturbed.

Thanks & let me know if I'm way off base.

..and I always thought us Mac users were missing features.....

I opened AC10 and was able to set the Element ID criteria...

Maybe someone else on a PC can confirm?

The criteria available vary based on the element type you pick.

Marc & Tom communicated:

Well, I don't know how I missed that switch, but it certainly works! Thanks for sticking with this question.

One last question, I promise.
What would cause a window from not listing its zone name in a schedule?
Thanks,
Scott

UPDATE: The window anchor setting needs to be 'Sill to Story' not 'Header to Wall Base'. Who knew......
