Roof rafter dimensions in Schedule of Elements

Voytek — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 12:17:20 GMT

Could some please advise how do I get dimensions of a roof rafter, such as: (1) Profile Height (rafter height), (2) Profile Thickness (rafter width) and (2) Lumber Size (rafter length) in Schedule of Elements. The rafter is sourced from Archicad Library 25 > Roof Construction 25 > Rafter 25. These dimensions are shown under PROFILES SETTINGS > Dimensions...
So far, I could only generate a Schedule showing: Profile Thickness (corresponding with the rafter width) and "Height" (which does not correspond with rafter height).

If these are parameters in your rafter objects,

Then in the schedule settings, there is an option to add parameters.

You then need to browse for the rafter object and the parameters you want to add.

If you can't figure it out, let me know - I don't have Archicad available at the moment so can't show screen shots.

Hi Barry,

I am trying now to schedule the same as Voytek, can you please detail the process?

I didn't really understand exactly.

In the schedule scheme settings, click on the little arrow next to the 'Add Fields' button.

This will allow you to add library part parameters.

You just have to search for the library part and then the parameters that you want.
