Modified Zone Stamp Problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
I changed "Zone Identifier 2.gsm" to that the ceiling "Height Type" (ceiltype) to include the word "VARIES". This works great when a room has a sloped ceiling -- the floor plan says "VARIES" just like I wanted it to. However, the room schedule I created still says 10'-0" (or whatever the default height is) instead of "VARIES".

As far as I can tell there is now way to get the schedule to use the term "VARIES" when ceiltype is set to "VARIES", and put the actual height in when ceiltype is set to "Value". So the stamps look great on the floor plan, but the schedule still hase to be faked with a text element that says "VARIES".

Is there any way around this, or am I stuck faking in the text?

Try this under the master script, it should get you close:

Q=str ("%0#.16ffi",ROOM_HEIGHT)

if ceiltype = "Varies" then parameters Schedule = "VARIES" else parameters Schedule = Q

Create a generic parameter ("Schedule") under the parameter window in the object and set it to text. It can be hidden if you wish since it is only a reference. This parameter will reference either the Height of the zone or the "varies" over ride. Then in the IS setup reference the parameter "Schedule" rather than the "ROOM_HEIGHT" parameter and title the column as you wish.

Hope this helps.
