Creating A Fill That Will Show Up In Schedules

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,
So, as we all know, if you place a fill in an elevation or section and try to get it to show up on a schedule it won't (arg!).

So, to get around this, I have been trying to find/create a gdl object that acts like a fill ( the 2 most desired abilities being: easy to add new points and change color). Reason being is that the object will show up on a schedule.

Any suggestions? Is this possible?

Thanks!

I can't help wondering what you are using the fills for?

If you could get fills in a schedule you could generate surface area schedules with a few clicks of the magic wand. Interior elevations, exterior walls, etc...any place you have multiple surfaces on the same wall.
Paint1, paint2, wall paper, plaster, murals, wainscoting, stone, brick, veneers, glazing, siding...and all with out having to create very complicated complex profiles and customized zone objects.

This is especially true when there are more than 2 or 3 finish materials on the same wall.

Fills in schedules from elevations and sections would be a big step in productivity for me.

If I remember correctly, this is a something we used to be able to do but now we can't.
