Interactive schedule-List Items based on zone number

[Anonymous]

I want to create a schedule of furniture by room number(zone #).

Each room needs to be shown on its own page, with cost totals for each room. The basic problem i'm having is I don't see a tab in the Schedule Settings box to set the criteria to a particular zone.

This is a 7 story building, and I have already set it by floor, I just want it broken down more.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

To be clearer, this is what I really want to do.

I want anything NOT in a zone to NOT show in the schedule.
However I don't want to put those items on a different layer, or necessarily change their ID to " ". (Objects outside the zones are alternate layouts that are still being considered.)

BTW, has anyone considered how scheduling and the fabled Options Manager are going to interact?

Is placing marquees and saving selections an option?

AFAIK, you cannot do this with I.S. as there is no criteria for parent zones. (Note: any object can belong to any number of zones, since zones can overlap.)

This can be done in SQL from within AC (Windows or OS X), or using ODBC (Windows only).

It appears that there are zone criteria in the list schemes of the calc menu, so perhaps you can accomplish this there ... I haven't taken the time to try. Because objects can belong to zero or more zones, and I only see a single zone field there, I'm not sure offhand what the approach would be there. Maybe someone else who has done this can post.

Djorde,
Sorry for the delay in this response...I was just re-reading through some of the calculation/scheduling threads

I don't believe the interactive scheduler will let you limit or filter out the model by using the marquee or selecting specific entities...it wants to report form the whole model as far as I can tell.

Curiously, standard listing will let you do this...i'm not sure why IS won't

Can anyone confirm this?

It will work only on the selected set of items, AFAIK. Not the marquee, though.
