Interactive Schedule+Wall+User Defiled Field AGAIN

[Anonymous]

I am re posting this to see if there is a yes or no answer?
Hi,
Is there a way to create a Wall schedule with a user defiled field (for Remarks) by using the Interactive Schedule.
Thanks,

Under Calculate
I/S
Settings: Select your 'wall list' schedule
Fields Tab: click on 'Additional Parameters'
1. Set it on 'All types by subtype'
Model element Type: check 'Wall'
2. Under 'Show Parameter Types' have only 'Abc' (text) active
3. check off parameter 'User Defined 1'

Thanks a lot, this is what I was looking for. But where do I actually type in my text, I could not do it in I.S. itself?
Thanks,

Joseph,
What are you trying to do?
What kind of comment(s) are you wanting to enter?
The criteria tab filters will or will not be included in the each schedule.

If you want the 'User Defined 1' comment to be in, for example, a wall schedule then you can do the same procedure to add a 'User Defined 1' field to your schedule but from the fields tab. This adds a column to your schedule and on this tab you can also arrange the order of your columns and rows.

You can place the schedule in ArchiCAD and add your comment or export it to excel and there enter the comment.

I probably in over my head here so someone else please chime in.

In reality I would like to get all composite wall skins extracted to a Interactive Schedule, Yet as far as I know it is not possible. The other work around would be (not so efficient) to type in the actual make-up of the wall (2x4 @ 16" O.C., 1/2" Ply Wood, 5/8" Gyp-Brd each Side) in user define field,
