Interactive door schedule - wrong heading

[KeesW]

I am getting into schedules and have struck a small snagg. I've created an interactive window schedule. Creating a duplicate schedule called Door Schedule works OK. However, its name on the printed & placed version is still Window Schedule. Items listed are doors and having the wrong heading could confuse some people. How can I fix this?

Another issue. I've created a hole in a wall using the windows tool. This is also listed in the window schedule. How can I unlist it?

First question is in the manual. Second question is discussed many times on this forum.

Easiest way to change the headings is to double click them when you are in the Preview Window. This is just text, so there is no way the IS would know that your duplicate was filtering on doors rather than windows, right?

Second one: assign an ID to your empty openings. For example, clear the ID field (empty ... some say "blank", but do not press the space bar as that is a different kind of blank!). Then, in your criteria for the schedule, add a criteria for ID<>"" and those will be ignored.

An easy way to fix the ID's is to realize the the I.S. is an editor, and to temporarily add the library part name and ID fields to your schedule. Change the IDs there, then remove the fields. But, what I recommend is that you set up a differently named duplicate for editing and keep it around. So, you'd have Sched Doors and Edit Doors as saved settings.

Karl,

Thank you for your advice. I know it's been mentioned a zillion times but could not find the key words when I tried to search for it. Couple of comments though:

1. The selection of the Window Schedule in my drop-down list automatically used this as a heading for the schedule. I had expected Archicad to do the same when I selected Door Schedule from my drop-down list. It didn't.

2. I can't find a means of filtering ID's in an interactive schedule. One can do so in standard schedules.

3. Placing a schedule on my archicad drawing provides no means of editing it. I can, of course, edit it if I first print it as a Word, or I suppose Excel, table. That is what I have now done.

That was just coincidence.

2. I can't find a means of filtering ID's in an interactive schedule. One can do so in standard schedules.

See screenshot below which excludes all windows with an id of "xx". IMHO it's much easier in I.S. and the criteria can be more complex and powerful.

If editing means to change the font, column width, or other things that can be specified by I.S., then select the schedule, then Calc | I.S. Preview and change things... then click update. If you mean to add math and other things, then, yes, you need to export to Excel (or csv for Mac users) from the IS Preview and make things look as you want there.

HTH,
Karl
