Interactive Schedule: Worked in AC10, doesn't in AC11

[Laura Yanoviak]

Our Door Schedule and Window Schedule IS's from AC10 work fine in AC11, but I cannot get our Area Schedule and Finish Schedule to cooperate! I ran into similar problems when migrating from AC9 to AC10, but they were remedied by recreating the IS.

Now, I can't get anything to work. I've recreated the IS's, I've tried taking the "Additional Parameters" from the extracted library instead of the LCF, I've tried taking one of the working IS's and editing -- nothing. These are just (custom) listing parameters! All the values remain blank (---) and locked! Why is this happening, and why are our other two schedules working just fine?

Any thoughts?

No help here... but my schedules have had problems as well.... I can no longer get a ZONE to show in my door schedules.... All worked fine before.

Working from memory, I had something similar to this, and it turned out to be the layers,floor, and view options that were automatically attached to the schedule's View when it was dragged from the Project Map to the View Map.

Deleting the schedule from the View Map and recreating the view while everything was unlocked and displayed fixed the problem, if I recall correctly.

This is similar to how I corrected the problem when migrating from AC9 to AC10, but it had no effect in AC11.

Well, this effect is pretty much what you get when the parameter being called is just not there in the zone stamp. Is it possible that the AC11 zone stamp that you're using has changed the names of the parameters slightly? In any event, would look at the IS setting for the name of the parameter being called in the schedule, and make sure the zone stamp actually has those exact parameter names.

It is the same (identical) Zone Object. I sent the files to GS Tech Support 3 months ago, but haven't heard back.

All of sudden today the schedule is picking up the zones.

Bugger is that some doors are referenced to the OUTSIDE (where there is no zone. And it's too inconvenient (or impossible) to flip and mirror these doors (it will be INCORRECT in plan view).

Tried the old MOVE THE MARKER TO THE ROOM but that no longer works (c. 8.0)

This has always been a problem, ASAIK: archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=13401

And this never scheduled correctly anyway (RE: above link).

Concerning my issue: I have heard from GS (via Karl Ottenstein) that this is indeed a bug, and they are looking to resolve the problem.

[vfrontiers]

On that note, then I propose a wish for a MOVEABLE HOTSPOT that associated the door with the room (I am thinking of something like the little cross for a ZONE)...

Please...please...please....please

Hey Duane,

Right, I'm not seeing that the old flip marker (or drag) changes the schedule contents anymore (Door Marker 11). Door Marker_NCS 11 picks up the zone number under the marker hotspot for the marker ID, but has no effect on the schedule. (The thread Laura quotes talks about the problem with that.)

The door swing always seems to show the proper 'from' zone for me ... just that, as you say, if the 'from' is the outside, then that is (correctly IMHO) blank. If you want to have a notion of 'outside', either put a footnote that blank means 'from the outside', or create a fake zone around the building for no purpose other than filling in the contents of that field?

So, I guess I'm not seeing any problems with how the schedule is behaving.
