help on creating a schedule for listing a specific matelial

hello,
i made a column footing with the mesh tool and applied the reinforced concrete material. this is not showing at the schedules quantities.
why that?
can i do something to fix it?
thanks , i apreciate any help

Yes, your conclusion is correct.
Component lists can be generated only for those element types where you can use Composites or Complex Profiles, therefore they have 'skins'.
I would suggest that you try to model those Column Bases using the Shell Tool. It is much more flexible than the Mesh Tool, you should be able to do it.
Then you will be able to create a Component Schedule for Shell elements as those can also have a Composite structure.

hi,
please see the attached image.
still the quantities inside a composite structure not listed.

I'm confused: you changed your question. You first asked about meshes not showing up ... and the image you posted does not show that you included meshes in your schedule, so that's why they do not appear.

Now, you've asked about quantities inside of composites... and I answered that earlier: you only get composite skin quantities with a component schedule, not an element schedule.

ArchiCAD has no means to combine the data from component and element schedules, unfortunately. So, if you have a composite wall with a reinforced concrete 'skin' and a mesh that you used for an isolated footing with reinforced concrete ... there is no means to total the volume of the two.

Edit: sorry for any duplication of Laszlo's comments... I started replying and was called away. Maybe I still said something useful. 😉

You might need to create a new "Component" schedule rather than a "Construction Element" schedule.
Then you can list the values of the individual components in your composites.

Achilles,

I'm merging your two threads before more people respond separately to the two, nearly identical questinos. Please try to post a question only once.

[For anyone trying to sort out the order of discussion, you'll see two different subject lines for earlier posts in this thread.]

guys,
thank you all for your time,
i will try the shell tool(i never used it before) i hope to find out how it works.
Karl, my mistake about posts. sory about that. i will keep it in mind
