Different door types, but schedule keeps merging into one

[Anonymous]

Hi All,
I have two different door types in my project. The only similarity is that they are both the same size. When I create a door schedule I want it to Merge Uniform Items, so I have ticked that box, however this results in both doors showing up as one. When I select the door in the schedule and go to view in 3D it selects both type of door. I'm sure it should not be doing this. ArchiCAD should be separating them as they have different properties, even if the size is the same! Please help so that the schedule will show these doors as separate entries i.e. 2 types

“Karm” and “Dørblad” list the surface of the frame and leaf of the door. The issue was with the new combined list feature being on in them so it merged Maling - 03 and Maling - 07 and I guess the row height only had room to show one value.

I see.

Can you show the Merge settings for the "Karm" field that was in effect when the issue happened?

This was how it was when it merged different colors. It seems to be that when I add new library part parameters with surface values it has this as the default setting as I got the same when adding other fields.

I played around with this a bit. I scheduled the "Frame Outside" and "Leaf Outside" parameters of the "Door 26" library part. I checked the "Merge Items" checkbox. The two Doors listed separately, obviously because their Frame Outside and Leaf Outside fields had different values.

 

Then, I clicked the "Merge Options" button for the "Frame Outside" field, and set it to "uniform or various". The two Doors still listed separately because the "Leaf Outside" fields had different values. So I clicked the "Merge Options" button for the "Leaf Outside" field as well, and set it to "uniform or various" as well. Now the two Doors were listed in a single column since I set all fields that had different values to "uniform or various". If I set only one of them, they still list separately.

hey 

in order to make this work. the fields in the schedule should have the 'library part name', in doing that if you have sliding door or hinged door with same size, it wont merge together. bu in saying that you might need to change objects name to suit thus creating a separate library.
