Adding Information To Zone Interactive Schedules

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to add information to the zone interactive schedule and I can highlight the cell but cannot type any information in the cell? Or does one have to add the information directly in the zone tool for each zone individually and if so where is the best place to add remarks?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

I use schedules for data entry all the time. It's a great way to check and correct large projects. It should work. I can't think of any more reasons why it wouldn't. The reference in the dialog to the items being locked has to be the key. Just for chuckles you could try copy/pasting them into a new blank project. Whether that works or not it's still one more data point.

I'm not at my desk now. If I get a chance I'll try scheduling some zones tomorrow.

Good idea Matthew. I pasted the zones into a blank project and the schedules worked and could be adjusted! I noticed that zones in the new AC16 project were Zones 16 and the zones in the existing project which has grown over the years was a Zone_01 tool.

Is there any way of changing the zones in my project to the current zones 16? Assistance gratefully accepted.

Thanks,

I loaded the newer zone stamp and some zones can have text added but not all?

I have many items on the zone schedule at the start of the list of rooms and areas and I don't know what they are? I will keep working through it.

In the Options... Element Attributes... zone Categories Dialog you can modify the Zone Stamp object assigned to each Cetegory. Of course the Zone Stamp object must be in loaded libraries (or you can load them from the Dialog using the button showing the used Zone Stamp name.

Thanks Laszlo. It got me a bit further but the zones still don't allow changes/notes in the interactive schedule. The only way I can get it to work is have a AC16 PLN running parallel with the main model and I place all the zones on the new PLN which lists the zones correctly. A little cumbersome but quick to make lists to without the other model information taking time.

This sound like the issue is file-specific if it works fine in a new ArchiCAD file.

I made it in "Element" interactive schedule and it works. Details can be added to the custom text column. I was trying to do it in "Component" which doesn't work.

thanks,

Yes, that must have been the problem.

Hello all. I believe I found out the problem

In schedule settings:

If you put Zone Name, Zone Number fields into "Schedule Fields" from "Global" (they are shown with an arrow instead of zone symbol), then you can NOT edit them in the schedule.
If you take the same fields from "Zone" in available parameters section, the fields are fully editable

If in the "Schedule fields" section of settings they are blue, you can edit them, I guess.

Also if the layer is not visible, you can't edit parameters in an interactive schedule...
