Cover Fill on Zone Schedule

Hi!

Im trying to have the cover fill/hatch included in my schedule, in order to easily identify which is which. I saw people introducing "swatches" or "RGB's", but i cant seem to find how to introduce the cover fill in the table as well, or even if it is possible.

 

Cheers,

Just one more question, sorry!

 

I needed to insert some multiplying indexes for each zone, in order to calculate the permeability of each material + another column for the result of the operation (total area of type of terrain * the index). 

The only way i found was to enter 2 custom text columns, but i cant find a way to have a total of the last column, which is a custom text column. It just adds a white extra row with no data. 

 

How could i go about doing that?

Custom text is exactly that - just text.

So you will not be able to total the columns, even if you type only numbers.

 

And you can't do any calculations in a schedule.

 

You could however create properties with expressions.

You will need to create a property for permeability which you associate with zone classification.

You will need to set the value of that property for each zone you place.

Then create another property (also associated to zone classification) that can multiply the zone area by the permeability.

Now you can schedule these properties (add them as fields) and being numbers, you can total them.

 

Barry.
