How to add description to a custom door

[adrianasofiasm_]

I created a custom door using walls and slabs, and saving the selection as a door. However, because its custom, the Description panel is not there, d therefore I can't put in information for it to appear in the Door Schedule.

Saving selection as a custom door will give you a basic, non-parametric door object.

You would have to edit the object scripts and add all of the parameters you want if you really need them.

There is a macro you can add that should give all of that to you, so the amendment of a single CALL. I do not have access to AC atm, but will check back later if no one else has dug it up by then.

!INTERFACE SCRIPT

"descriptionPage":

	dim stParamNames[16]
		stParamNames[1] = "gs_list_cost"
		stParamNames[2] = "gs_list_manufacturer"
		stParamNames[3] = "gs_list_note"
		stParamNames[4] = "gs_list_location"
		stParamNames[5] = "gs_list_accessories"
		stParamNames[6] = "FM_Type"
		stParamNames[7] = "FM_InventoryNumber"
		stParamNames[8] = "FM_SerialNumber"
		stParamNames[9] = "FM_ProductionYear"
		stParamNames[10] = "FM_ObjectWeight"
		stParamNames[11] = "FM_ObjectWeightUnit"
		stParamNames[12] = "gs_list_custom1"
		stParamNames[13] = "gs_list_custom2"
		stParamNames[14] = "gs_list_custom3"
		stParamNames[15] = "gs_list_custom4"
		stParamNames[16] = "gs_list_custom5"

	call "ui_object_listing" parameters all listfieldID = TABID_DESCRIPTIONS,
										listFieldPosY = 0,
										listFieldHeight = 265,
										stDescHeader = "",
										stValueHeader = "",
										stParamNames = stParamNames
return

Copy and paste the above into the Interface Script of your object, then you will need to add each of the quoted parameters to your Parameter List. Not too complicated if you want to dabble.
