Hello.
I have a major problem. I am pretty far along a process of making a schedule template for quantities but I hit a big roadblock. Im going to try to simplify the problem to its core here. I use a classification system to sort elements out into cathegories like walls, slabs, roofs etc. I am trying to create schedules that sorts quantities into these cathegories. For Elements schedules that worked perfectly. I simply had a column thar shows the classification. Same for Surfaces schedules. When it comes to Components schedules the problem is that a classification column outputs the classification of the Building materials and not the source element of wich they are a component of.
To me it seems ridiculous that I don’t have a option to read information either from the Building material OR/AND the Element type. BM’s are generic, same ones can be found in multiple element types. How am I suppose to differentiate between them?
Further, Building materials are attributes, so are Surfaces. How come Surface schedules can read info from the Element type level and Components schedules cant?
My question is this. How can I acces Element Type information (be it propertyes or classification) in a Component schedule?
Thank you.
