Selecting "OUT" of the Door Schedule Scheme settings

[rob2218]

Guys...really...there has to be a much better way to find the object parameters than having to scroll thru a billion and a half lines of object coding to locate exactly "where" is that small miniscule parameter you need to be able to filter out of a schedule so it wont read superfluous and unnecessary information (such as "openings" or "rectangular openings").

I'm trying to compose a door schedule.
used for the most part, the AC18 out of the box door schedule. it worked fine.....but..it has a tendancy to "read" and search for ALL opening types...doors, openings...etc... and all I want it to do is READ my DOORS...that's it. no openings, no rectangular openings....nothing...just MY DOORS.
So...I hunted and pecked to find the parameters which will filter out such non-sense as those dreaded openings....and it took me over 25 minutes to find.....WHERE THE HECK was that one object type I needed to filter out of the schedule.
Now...Gurur's I know there's a better way to FIND a specific parameter to filter out of the schedule.......HOW DO YOU DO IT?

Rob,
If I understand correctly…
The concept is that anything that you don't want scheduled you assign a specific ID in my schedule I select for Criteria "All Doors" and 'ID does not =NoId" so any opening that I don't want included I just write "NoID" on its setting and I don't have to spend 25 min hunting stuff.

You're doing it wrong. You're also asking wrong. You'll probably get more/better results if it didn't sound like you're having a tantrum every time you post a question.

Why don't you try giving all the doors you don't want to schedule an ID like OMIT and direct the schedule not to list anything with that ID?

OK...the above strategy makes sense.
Will give a go around.
See.....I needs "brainiacs" like Link whose superior intellect can get me outtava bind.....just send me a bill.

Edurardo...my offer still stands.
when you come visit in L.A......I'll have a beer chillin' with yer name on it.
