Managing Schedule

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 03:17:13 GMT

Dear All,

Is there a way to do some calculation on the schedule? Say, the schedule has provided some information (area, volume) of materials, if I know a price of wood is $200/㎡, can I tell the schedule to use the area (450㎡) to multiply the price ( 450㎡x$200/㎡ ) to give me a total cost ($90,000)?

I know you can export the schedule to Excel to do all the calculation but I am interested in if we can do it within ArchiCAD?

Thank you in advanced.

Jack

No.
There will be a wish or two in the wish section requesting this if you want to add your vote.

Hi Barry,
Thanks for your reply. Now I know I cannot do calculation on ArchiCAD schedule. But I am thinking is it possible to let ArchiCAD automatically export schedule to an excel format? Beacause I am trying the live connection between GH and ArchiCAD, I have succeeded to use a dynamic GH script to update a model in ArchiCAD, so now I would like to have ArchiCAD to do a real time export information for me to do some cost calculatuon in GH.
Thank you in advanced,
Jack

You could create a Publisher set to publish them in Excel format.

But can it automatically publishes to Excel when the schedule updates? Instead of manually clicking buttons to publish?

No you would have to manually publish.
