How best can I accomplish this?

What I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on is...how do I make this "door list" NOT show every single door like in a "door schedule" rather show the typical U.S. door types as created in just about every single generic construction documentation set in the U.S.

As there is no door panel parameter that can be used in the schedules, start by adding one of the door's user defined parameters

[Erika Epstein]

In the door's parameter for listing tab fill in the panel type.

In the schedule window, click on the ellipsis to open the schedule cell size. Often a faster way to set the row and column sizes.

click on the Show uniform items as a single entry and here's a door panel schedule.

your explanation is great Erika.
but...what I'm looking to do is to make "ALL Similar doors" to show up as a one door type.

I have the boxes checked as you stated in your last screen snap shot..yet the doors that are the 'same type' seem to still show up as separate doors.....what am I doing wrong??

As you can see from my latest screen capture...the "red" circled doors are the same "type" of door as are the "green" circled doors.

Yet...in the DOOR LIST they show up as different doors eventhough I have the check boxes toggled on the upper left hand side......so what I'm trying to accomplish is....to make ALL doors that are the SAME TYPE OF DOOR to only show up once in the DOOR TYPE legend.

it's standard operating protocol in the AEC industry.

[Erika Epstein]

Looking at your screenshot, you are including criteria which make doors different, such as the IDs, sizes etc.

You need to be clearer, what you want in the schedule.

oK....so please, bear with me here. I'm approaching 50 soon...'where' do make it clearer to tell the door list to show similar doors as ONE door type?
