Hi Laszlo,
I thank you very much for all your help,
And, knowing that you have lots of experience and knowledge in this matter, I still want to ask you this:
There is one thing that I can't do which is in my project I have some doors that are Store entrance doors (the leaf is glass, frame aluminum) and also have internal doors which are wood paneled doors, I can't find the way to show what material each door has in the door list,
any sugestions?
Thanks again!
For this you have to use the Additional Parameters of the Scheme Settings Dialog.
ArchiCAD is capable of listing any parameter of any Library Part of the Loaded libraries.
Now, the trick is that most Doors in ArchiCAD are based on the same basic Door "subtype", which means they share many-many of their parameters in common. So if you select one parameter in one Doors chances are that same parameter exists in other Door objects as well and so it will give you sensible results.
Check the attached image:
I hope it is understandable what I mean: you select the "gs_frame_mat2" parameter of the "D1 12.gsm" library object to be listed in the Interactive Schedule. That parameter is the parameter of that Door. But since most of the other Door object in the Library have a parameter under this same name, they will also return sensible info in the Schedule.
So, basically ArchiCAD thinks this way: the gs_frame_mat parameter has been selected for listing. If I have any Door that has such a parameter then I will list the value of that parameter no matter if that Door is not "D1 12.gsm".
So, set this in the Field panel of the Schedule. Then make sure to set the parameter correctly for all Doors and then it should list out the materials of those Doors correctly.
P.S.: As you can see in the list there are many material parameters you can choose from. It is possible to choose another material parameter.
