Hello,
Is there a way to get door and window numbers from modules to show, and be linked, in elevation?

As I recall the types were stored in a schedule parameter which in turn was used for the labeling.fuzzymike2002 wrote:Hi Mike - I know exactly what you are after, and have dealt with this situation myself.

Sadly there is no way to assign unique door & window numbers as part of the door or window itself when using repeated modules. - the allocated numbers will intrinsically repeat as well
My approach has been to define & use door & window TYPES - so that there may be 12 versions of door type 3 for example.
This is common practice in the industry anyway, especially on larger projects, though this approach has its own pros & cons - e.g. it is a pain updating a door type consistently across several modules so that all incidences of door type 3 will still schedule and be collated as one door type from the master project file containing the modules, rather than scheduling as a number of similar looking doors with the same label
