Hello,
Is it possible to add an additional column with free text (so that I can enter free text directly in the schedule) for walls and slabs?
I use Archicad 26.
Operating system used: Windows 11 Pro 23H2
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @369
I think you've done it almost perfectly, but you should have chosen the Undefined value so you can write whatever you need in the schedule.
You must chose the right criteria for selecting the elements that will appear in the schedule based on the type (wall, slab) and the property availability for those.

Hi,
From the schedule fields, you can access Custom texts and populate them in the schedule:

Hi!
Thank you so much!
I added it!, But I can´t write directly in the schedule or am I wrong?
Well, at least I can´t click here inside directly

Hi, thank you so much!
I’m sure you’re right, but somehow I still can’t click on it or edit it in the schedule. Not sure why.

Could you share a screenshot of the criteria used in the schedule settings?
You can check the correct property availability for the element type in the classifications and properties of its settings (Ctrl+T). If it is there and you can write something then you should see it in the schedule.

Yes, that works!
I think I didn’t phrase my question perfectly.
What I meant was whether I can edit the text freely directly in the schedule — not on the walls or slabs (as elements).

Hi @369
Click on the chain button so you can customize the property value.

Hi, yes of course, that works.
But my original question was actually whether I can simply edit some text freely directly in the schedule (which I assume is not possible).

Adding a custom text, like @CosminF suggested, should work. I think your problem is with the fact that the element is reserved (not sure how that works, I'm on AC Solo and don't do teamwork) or on a locked/off layer. Otherwise, you should be able to type in that column.
One word of caution: you can not have separate lines of text, it will all flow as one paragraph!
