Opening orientation question

[adzik]

Hei,

when I started to write this post I wanted to ask about a different thing in schedules but I managed to come up with the answer myself. So a little change of topic.

I have customised my template for the schedule, translated the term into estonian, but now I'm stuck because I would want to translate the opening orientation values into estonian as well, because left/right is far from the terms in estonian.

So does anybody know if and how I could do that?

TIA

Now that is interesting.
I would suppose they should be displayed differently in the list.

I have one more guess: maybe the two Doors are "too identical" for the program, because all their settings are the same. When this happens ArchiCAD takes one of the instances and generated the 3D view from that for all instances. Maybe this is what is happening.

Try to change the User ID of one of them and see if that helps.

No it doesn't make a difference and frankly I didn't think it would. They are similar doors yes, but their opening orientation is different so they aren't identical.

I'm more thinking in the direction that when the Orientation value was R or L then AC knew which way to turn the 3D front view, but if you assign custom values instead of R or L then some association inside the code doesn't work properly.

Unfortunately I've got no idea if this really is the case and if one could change the aforementioned association so it would work correctly. I don't really understand why it shouldn't work just the same because the location of the text and the door orientations remain the same only the contents of the text field have changed.

Anyways, the weekend is starting and I've got until thursday to figure this out so hopefully somebody will give a more detailed explanation why it doesn't do what I want it to.

Sorry, I have no more ideas.
It may be that it is a bug.

Edit: Unfortunately, I do not think GS has touched this area of the program in the last several releases, because there is now Interactive Schedules, so this seems to be slowly drifting into oblivion.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Could you generate a quick interactive schedule/legend that shows the elevation symbol to see if the same thing happens there? If it does, then it is more likely that it is a bug and that GS might address it sooner than later.

Thanks,

It's been a problem with the list schemes since I tried it first in 8.1
Haven't tried them in later versions since there has been the interactive schedules.
But even the interactive schedule didn't work in version 10.
It was fixed in version 11 & 12 seems to work OK as well.

In an interactive schedule everything works fine. Strange.

[Laszlo Nagy]

I think the original Listing functions and the Interactive Schedules are two entire different code segments of ArchiCAD so something might not work in one and work in the other.
I think it is a bug in the old listing functions.

I guess I have to use the Interactive schedules then. I found the lists easier to control (the layout and such).
