Hi all,
I am creating this new topic, the others with similar names to this are different, but if I am doubling up let me know.
I have a window not appearing on my window schedule.
The window is above another window, I have placed it on a separate wall that is based on the "ceiling level", this is so I can see the window in plan view on my ceiling plan, if I just have one high wall, because of the cut plane I can not see it to work on it (except in 3D or elevation).
I have tried creating a new room zone on the ceiling level to associate it too, but that did not work. I also tried to pull the wall down to see if that would make the schedule pick it up, but that also did not make the schedule pick it up.
I am confidant this is because it is on a separate wall, and / or above another window, and / or it is above the floor the room zone is on, but I can not work out how to fix it.
Any Ideas?
Thank you,
Chris

I didn't think it would be - they are just not needed.
Something Archicad automatically adds to schedules from older versions.
Now the question is why the window is not scheduling?
You don't need a zone to schedule a window and you are not using that in the criteria anyway.
Is the upper wall/window the same renovation status as the lower one?
If you drag a copy of the upper window down (in 3D window or elevation) into the lower wall and move it over to the side, does it now schedule?

Get rid of the criteria for element type is not beam/column segments.
They are not needed.
The obvious question - is the upper wall in the same layer as the lower wall?

Hi Barry,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes they are on my exterior wall layer.
I have removed the column and beam criteria. Unfortunately that was not the issue.

Is the ceiling space separate to your ground floor space ? Might work if in your story settings you can create a raked ceiling space and link that high glass window section to that new level ?

Storeys shouldn't matter - the same as zones, because Chris is on;u searching for windows in the Walls Exterior layer.
If both of those criteria match, then the windows should schedule.
The only reason I mention renovation filters (I know it is not is his criteria) is in case he is using a 'View' to open the schedule.
And the 'view' settings are for only a particular renovation filter.
It may look fine in 3D with the reno filter set to show all, but if the schedule view is set to hide new and the widow is new, it may not schedule.

The upper wall was on existing, and the schedule was on the new reno status. I would not have thought that would matter, as both new and existing are visible in the new status.
I changed this and nothing changed.
But is it fixed now, I did the following:- I deleted the offending wall and window, re-drew a wall on the new reno status. I also created a room zone for the ceiling level and placed that on the new reno status. One of these things worked, as the window is now scheduling. I am thinking it must be that the wall was on existing reno??
Anyway, all resolved now, thank you for working through this with me.

The program now sees the new window and places it in the schedule and that’s what really matters. You found a way to do that and that’s cool. I learned that zones helped solved that particular problem for you.
I haven’t used Archicad for remodeling, renovations or extensions yet but it is good that it has a dedicated workflow for that purpose.
