Zone Schedules - 2 Story Zones

Anonymous
Not applicable
Greetings,

We are working with the automated schedules in AC17 to produce a zone schedule. We have a series of Mew style town homes which have 3 levels to them. We are trying to show total unit count and total unit square footage in our reporting. However, the zone stamp is only tracking the square footage of the main level of the mew units. The other areas of the two floors are not being represented.

Any tricks or ideas of how to do this?

(URGENT!!!!! We need help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Has you schedule criteria been set to find only zones in a particular storey?
Maybe showing a screen shot of your criteria will help so we know what you are scheduling.

Barry,

Thanks for the quick response. I've attached 3 screen shots: 1-our schedule criteria, 2-the zones in plan view, 3-the zones in 3D view. As of right now, we have modeled the zones individually for each story to calculate the accurate square footage, but we don't want these zones to be included in the quantity count within the schedule.

Here are the zones in plan view on the 3rd story.

And here are the zones in the 3D window (all stories).

OK so in your schedule results you are getting the individual zone area for each floor but you want one total for all 3 floors?

Thank you Barry!!!

Well said, that is exactly what we are trying to achieve. Any ideas on a better way to do this?

First you will need to tick the box in the schedule settings that says "Show uniform items as a single entry".

Now the trick is to make the 'unique' zones you have to be all the same so that can add together.

First you will need to remove the 'Home Storey' field as they are all on separate storeys so this will create a unique value - we need to get rid of that.

Next you have a field for the zone number.
You will either need to remove that or make sure each zone on each storey has the same zone number.

The same will apply for the zone name - it either needs to be the same on each storey or you need to delete the filed and not include it in your schedule.

Of course each of your units can hav a unique name (unit 1, unit2, etc.) or unique zone number but they must be the same on each storey otherwise they can't be grouped in the schedule.

Something else you can do is to sub-total the zone names.
You still need identical zone names and then add the sub-total flag to that.
The zone names must be listed befor the ther fields.
Then you can have unique zone numbers and can even show the storey field again.
