Ghost element appearing in schedule (only one element in model)

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a schedule for some construction elements that I want to present on my layouts (mainly structural elements like beams/coloums).

I’ve set up custom properties to define these elements, and the schedule is supposed to read from those properties.

However, I’m getting an extra “ghost” row in the schedule that I can’t seem to remove.

There is only one element in the model, and when I delete that beam, the “ghost” row disappears as well — so it seems to be related to that same element.

I’ve attached screenshots.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or knows what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Keep in mind that from the moment segments in Beams and Columns were introduced Archicad clculates them in Schedules.

It is possible that your Schedule is listing a segment of that beam as a separate element. Use Criteria to exclude Beam segments from the schedule an see what happens.

Aha, thx LucaP - that was correct.
