Wall schedule fills changing to existing

Yvonne

I will add fills to the annotation part of a wall schedule as "new" but when I save it, it will change to existing. Is this a bug? or have I clicked something?

A bit more detail would be helpful, maybe even an attached image?

Here are some screenshots of what's happening:

  • I would add a fill (renovation filter is new) in the annotation view Annotation view - adding a fill.PNG
  • Save changes and exit annotation view -  this is what it looks like in the schedule Save view - it appears grey (existing).PNG
  • Click back into annotation view and the fill is now on an existing renovation filter. Annotation view after - the fill is existing.PNG

I would try to change it to new again but when I exit the annotation view it would change back to existing itself.

I see what is happening.

I don't know if it is a bug, a limitation, it is by design, or else. I will forward it to Graphisoft anyway.

Hello,

 

Thank you very much for sharing your problem with the annotation in Schedules.

 

As far as I know, this is a limitation of the annotation elements. At the moment, we can't assign a renovation status to the annotation. Our development team is aware of this issue, however fixing this would bring many design questions, so it's not an easy one to implement,

 

I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you have any further issues!

 

Best regards,

Minh

Hi Minh,

 

Yes, please the design team know that this issue is quite frustrating. 

 

I don't need to be able to assign renovation filters to the annotation elements, just for it to not revert to something that I haven't drawn it as. The only work around I have been able to do is to draw fills on top of the schedule on the layout. 

 

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to stop the fills from reverting to an existing renovation filter so I don't need to draw fills that might jump when the schedule changes (more error for mistakes!).
