I make a schedule for door, slab, etc., and insert the Zone Name as a fields inside the scheme. However, the Zone name of some items could not be shown. I am confused for this. Any Help! Thank you!

I think Zone Name return a value only for GDL type of elements.
For example, for Doors/Windows, it returns the Zone the Door/Window opens into.
For objects, it returns the Zone where the object is placed.
But I don't think it returns a value for a Slab for example.
Anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct AFAIK.

Thank you for your explanation for the disappear of the Zone name of the Slab in the schedule. There are another strange things happened. In the wall schedule, the Zone name of some walls could be shown. However the Zone name of other walls could not. The same situation happens in door schedule. How could I solve this?

I just want to make items' schedule and show their Zone name. It is easy for me to estimate the cost for different Zone area. However it turns out to be impossible work.

Could you show us some screenshots?
Maybe one with the Floor Plan and one with the resulting Schedule.

Could you also create one more screenshot?
Please select the Lobby Zone and show us its extents in relation to the Doors.

Thank you! It seems that the Zone area should extend out of the wall of the Door 1 . Then the Zone name of the door could be displayed.

If the Zone area match just the wall of the Door 1, the zone name of the door would disappear.

It is still a little strange.

If you mirror that Door so it opens into the Zone, will the Schedule give the correct result?
