ELECTRICAL SCHEDULE - OBJECTS NOT SHOWING

[designrevellion]

Hello, and thanks in advance...

I have Lamp objects on my electrical drawing, but they are not showing up on my Electrical Schedule. I am attaching what the drawing looks like, the object settings, what the schedule looks like, and the schedule settings.

What am I missing please?

Also on the schedule I have 27 items I have no idea what they are. When I annotate them it tells me it's a smoke alarm, but I don't have 27 of them in the plan!

Thanks,

Anita, newby.Ceiling fan, chandeliers and wall lights are not appearing on the scheduleAll my electrical items have an ID starting with ELECThe IFC category is "lamp"Not appearing on schedule, and there are 27 random objects listedThis is my electrical schedule settings

Your schedule criteria shows element is and object AND element is a lamp.

It can't be both, which is why you are not seeing what you want.

It should be OR rather than AND and the element type criteria should be contained in brackets.

Also add brackets to the 2 layer criteria.

Check the use of AND and OR, AND means it must be both criteria and OR means it can be either.

I am not sure you need the hotlink and element ID criteria, unless you are using hotlinks.

Maybe something like this will work?

Barry.

Thanks Barry you legend, I did not know about the brackets. Have added brackets and changed the and/ors but the chandeliers and ceiling fans are still not showing.

When I changed the "Element ID contains ELEC" from OR to AND I simply got 38 random items instead of 22. I can't work out what they are!

You criteria looks OK from what I can see.

Items should be included in the schedule so long as the are and object OR a lamp, AND they also have an ID that contains "ELEC" AND they are in one of those 3 layers (I can see all the of layer names).

If that is all true, then they should appear in the schedule.

Judging by the previous image of the ceiling fan, this all appears to be true.

You can always create a new schedule and try the criteria one at a time to see what does and doesn't work.

@designrevellion,

What you could do is you could temporarily modify the Schedule Fields that are displayed in the generated Schedule to include the used criteria: Element Type, Element ID, and Layer. Just add these three to the Schedule Fields, uncheck the Merge items button so you will have a schedule that displays one element per row and all the needed info about all elements. Then you can check the elements that are displayed unnecessarily in the Schedule. Some of them may have the "ELEC" in the ID and they shouldn't. By generating such a schedule you could see on each scheduled item if they meet all criteria or not. For those that do,but you do not want them on the schedule, you will have to change their Element ID or Layer so they do not meet the scheduling criteria.

Thank you! Unmerging was something I didn't know we could do! Have been able to label the miscellaneous items so now they appear on the schedule when I Merge Items again. Thank you so much 😄 ~Anita
