Excluding doors and windows from a CADimage schedule

[Paul King]

Hi, just wondering what the best method was to exclude doors and windows from a CAD Image doors and windows schedule, based solely on plan location?

I have a project involving many repeated modules, and where the base components used to define each module are placed off to one side in the master file, such that they can all be readily edited in one place, selected, and selections resaved out to update module files (which happens many times a week)

This works well apart from the fact that needed doors and windows for defining the modules are in the module source component area. so are being included in D+W schedule counts along with the versions from each placed module. I can't give them different IDs or other attributes as a way to filter them out, because then these changes would then propagate to the modules every time they are resaved.

Looks like I could put the module source components on a special story, and filter them out that way in CI schedule manager - but this would be a major pain given the intense frequency of backwards and forwards panning between placed modules and the module working area throughout each day - and the placed multi story modules in particular are very easily messed up when source origin differs or changes in any way from host file
