Filtering a Door Schedule with the Criteria Panel

[Anonymous]

I am trying to use the Door List to generate a door schedule, but am experiencing the problem that if I put in more than one eliminator criteria (I don't want "empty doors" or "semi arches" to show up in the schedule so I used the library part name as the eliminator) if I use only one name, it won't show up but the other will, and if I use both names neither is eliminated. I looked at the Archicad Help page, but it's not really specific on how to use the schedule and the criteria panel. I have attached my exported list if someone wants to take a look at it, or take a look at helping me fix it...Thanks!

Try assigning all unwanted doors an ID of say 'void', then exclude that from your schedule.

We use an 'X'.

OK, THAT WORKS, BUT WHY IS IT YOU CAN ONLY FILTER ONE ELEMENT TYPE OR NAME PER PERIMETER?

NOT ONLY DO I WANT TO ELIMINATE EMPTY OPENINGS OR ARCHES, I DON'T WANT DOORS ON MY DEMO LAYER OR EXIST WALL LAYER TO BE COUNTED.

SO I ASSIGN ALL EMPTY DOORS "X" AND FILTER THAT BY ID, THEN I FILTER THE ARCHED OPENINGS BY LIBRARY PART NAME, AND I FILTER OUT THE DEMO LAYER BY LAYER NAME, WHAT AM I GOING TO USE TO FILTER OUT MY EXISTING DOORS?

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT I CAN'T PUT IN TWO (OR MORE) LIBRARY PART NAMES AND TWO (OR MORE) LAYERS, ETC. TO BE FILTERED...WHY IS THAT? OR DO I HAVE A GLITCH?

Why don't you just give all of these doors an ID of 'X'? or follow my example and exclude doors by library part name (Empty Doors), items on your Demo Layer, and give all other doors an ID of 'X'?

Ok, I can do that, and it works just fine.
Thanks

In response to this question: you can. There's a button to add conditions, but it's hidden unless you highlight the criteria (see attached image).

I have done that with hitting the plus sign to add an "or" field such as a library part name, but as I stated before, if I put in a Library part name add another with the "or" neither is eliminated, they both remain in the list.

I don't which which version of AC you are using, or your system specs, but it works correctly for me in AC11 (both Empty Doors and Arched Openings are omitted from the schedule).

It may be because I am using 10, maybe there's a glitch and I need to look to see if there is a bug fix that I haven't gotten loaded yet.
Thanks again, your other suggestions worked for getting around the problem with my version, and I will continue to use that if there is no bug fix.
