Listing fill pens in a schedule

[Anonymous]

The scheduling tools in V11 seem to work well and the interface is the best yet.

Why is there not an option in the schedule set-up for adding a fill pen number to a schedule|?

I have used the take off functions in ArchiCAD for a long time now. On a current job I have a drawing for an office fit out I am working on in collaboration with other contractors. The drawing was designed by a third party using fills with different pen numbers, mostly solid fills with some diagonal hatching. To assist the flooring contractor I want to add a schedule of the fills by pen number that totals the areas. It is easy to set up a schedule showing fill types and areas but there is no option to show pen numbers so that totals can be shown for each type of flooring.

Using the 'Set up list schemes' box, that is still available in V11, this is simple to do but the result does not look as good as a schedule.. It is odd that the schedules scheme setting box does not have the same criteria available that there has been for many years in 'Set up list schemes'.

Am I missing something obvious?

PS....A tip for anyone using quantity take-offs in ArchiCAD. Run the add-on 'check doubles' before doing an important take off. I speak from experience. The model/ drawings must be correct to get correct results.

Sorry to revive this after years, but I have the same question (with Archicad 16, as I have to use 32bit computers).

Generally, is there a way to have a relatively comprehensive schedule or list that includes not only fill pen numbers but also cut and uncut line settings and generally, all the options you see when you click an element's settings? How can you know which of these 'non-schedulable' items are defaults for the element, which are specific or overrides, etc?

I have been trying to doublecheck/organise the appearance and consistency of a floorplan and I'm really confused and frustrated. I have also noticed that the lists have sometimes different (more?) parameters than the schedules. And yet lists seem to have a low limit in how many parameters can be shown, the rest are ignored. Too many parameters in schedules crash Archicad instead.

Also, walls and columns and inherent parts seem to have the most parameters missing, while the default library parts (Window 16, etc) seem to have comprehensive parameters.

Am I missing something basic here? Should I avoid inherent walls and columns and use only library objects? I tried gdl labels also to display extra info/parameters, but as I read in other threads, it's not possible to extract the info and add it to a list or schedule.
