Walls type schedule

[silvermat]

Hello everyone!
I am looking for the best way to create a schedule/legend with all types of walls I use in the project (or only for selected ones).
My goal is to create a table with ID, 2D view, and multiline custom text where I can write materials with detailed information about them.

I usually make it in the model on the lowest level, but I want to remove everything that is not my building from my model.
I moved the rest of my legends into Independent 2D view, but it doesn't work with walls.
There is an example of what I want to get (or something close to it)

Operating system used: Windows

Wich AC-version are you using?  Did you check out keynotes in AC28?

[silvermat]

I have AC28.
How can I use keynotes in that way?

Hello Silvermat, 

I did some tests with keynotes, it is not exactly what you need but it is an option:

+ Benefits of the keynotes is that you can easily type in the text with enters for a correct layout. 

+ The keynotes labels can be placed anywhere on a plan/elevation or even a worksheet.

- The keynotes do not have a preview >> makes them hard to line align with the 2d views

- It is not a schedule , no auto-update when you add a new element

 

Working with schedules:

You can add a property with the extra info you want to show (options/property manager)

+ display automatically new walls

+ preview can be aligned with the text

+ add text in the schedule itself

- not possible to make seperate lines, only full textblock without enters (other parameters will add columns)

Maybe someone else knows a better workflow

The lack of line breaks in schedule is such a large shortfall...

You can try to work around the lack of line breaks with a large number of spaces at the end of the line. Here is one example of solving the problem.

I've developed a method of documenting assemblies that combines autotext, property, and skin list label. See below:

 

This is all done in a section scaled at 1:5, where I model/draw most of my typical details. In your case, I would recommend doing this in a floor plan view on a dedicated design option (so these wall samples don't get picked up in schedules). Besides the skin list label, you could use some more autotext that lists the element-level properties.

For details on how the method works, see this and this post.

The beauty of this method is that if everything is done via properties, everything stays in sync if any changes happen (from general plans to details and spec sheets)

Potentially, you could also do it by combining element and component schedules and model views and assembling them on a layout, but for me, this method is easier to set up.

Good luck!

Hello,
It has very interesting ideas, but it is very complicated...
Archicad should solve this simply! I don't understand why Graphisoft doesn't solve these basic things. They deal with all sorts of completely useless things and ignore such important problems...

The point is that I don't want to make it on floor view like I used to do before.

as I said, you can model this "samples" in a dedicated design option (its possible also within a dedicated renovation status that you create).

This way you don't have to set up exclusion rules in schedule scheme settings, because such exclusion is made within view settings (where default design option is main model and default renovation status is new).
