Error in window and door dimensions when Schedule placed on layout

[Albritton]

Archicad 27 -  Error in window and door sizes when the Archicad schedule placed on layout.

Sizes in schedule are correct but when schedule placed on layout they change to 1x2, 2x2 etc.

Attached are both the actual Archicad schedule and the schedule as inserted onto layout.

Have tried all parameter/fields that are associated with door and window size and each has same error when inserting on layout. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, I am having this exact issue. Did you every find a solution?

Thanks!

Just checking: are you using the latest Hotfix/Update of Archicad 27?

[Albritton]

Took me awhile to figure it out.

To fix manually - I think I just changed the Dimensioning setting in the View Setting for the Schedule. See pic.

The latest hotifix did seem to fix it in the schedule but I think the Dimensioning setting in View Setting still showed "Missing (Building Scale).

Hope this helps.

Thanks

That was it! 

Not sure if I have the latest hotifix update (so probably not) but I did randomly adjust my work environment dimensioning so it might have been a side effect of that move. 

Thank you so much, that saved me so much time 🙂

Glad it is solved for you guys.

Yes, it is always a good idea to make sure that no View is saved with "MISSING" settings.

Generating a View List with all their schedule fields lets you quickly check if any of your Views needs such fixing.

Opening a schedule (or any other view point - plan, elevation, etc.) for the Project Map, allows you to customise what you see (all the buttons at the bottom of the window - scale, layers, dimension style, graphic override, etc.).

These settings can all be changed to what you want, when you want.

You should be saving a view of that view point in the View Map.

This locks in particular settings as you have discovered.

Now you can place this view on your layout and you know exactly how it will be set up.

As Laszlo mention, make sure you never have any 'Custom' settings.

You can even duplicate the view and have different settings for each view point.

i.e. the same floor plan with different layers or scale.

The same schedule with different graphic overrides or dimension style.

So there is only one 'view point' available for each storey, section/elevation, schedule, etc., in the Project Map, but you can create as many 'views' of each view point in the View Map with the settings that you want.

Barry.
