Giving Composites or Walls

Anonymous

Is their a way to give a wall properties so that it automatically references
to Partition keys. : It seams that it is possible with all of the interactive schedules that I have investigated, but not sure. I am looking for something that would give a generic nomenclature for each wall composite that I create and be represented in plan.

EX: Composite wall 1 = Type 1

You can give each wall type a composite name directly realted to your schedule. ie call the composite type 1. Possibly easier is to use the ID of the wall instead

You need to use an associated label. Depending on the label selected depends on what info presents on plan.

Saul,
You should name all of your composite wall types with the keyname you would like to see in the IS and in a custom label on the floor plan.
I would not use the ID number because it can be to easily changed and might not confirm to your key list. If you use the composite name it will always properly display and update correctly if someone inadvertantly changes the wall type.

HTH,
