Within my external door and window schedule I use the glass surface as a field, in order to schedule out whether the glass is clear, obscure, clear/safety etc. This means I do not have to type this information out manually for each window. However some of our external doors are louvered and this field is not applicable. Instead of the column being left blank on these doors, it defaults to clear. Wondering if there is a way I can change this default?
Operating system used: Windows

Your louvre door must have a glass surface attribute, even though it is not used.
As you may have some doors that do have glass, you probably don't want to create a door schedule that does not include that field.
I would create a new material called "N/A" or "Not Applicable" and then apply that to your louvre door glass parameter.
That way it will still schedule, but will say "N/A".

Thanks Barry, worked perfectly.
I had to change the door leaf style to one with the glass surface, then apply the 'n/a' surface I created, and then change back to my custom door leaf.
