Windows Not Merging in Schedule

[Derek]

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble with my window schedule in Archicad. Even though the windows have the same properties (size, materials, type, etc.), they’re not merging into one row in the schedule.

I’ve enabled the Merge Uniform Items option and made sure there are no differences in things like IDs or hidden properties.

What could be causing this? Any advice would be really helpful!

I would try going into a 3D view, selecting all the windows with ID W01 using Find & select, and then retyping the custom values in the selected windows to make sure they are exactly the same.

Only a suggestion... I've run into this a few times on some of our projects.  Because we have multiple people working on files together, everyone does things their own way at times. One of the things I like to look at, even though you're not scheduling it, is the way the window is being anchored to the wall.  Are the windows maybe anchored differently?  I've seen it when they had different settings selected, the schedule will seperated them if the values are not all the same.

I think you will find they are merging, if you look at the quantity column - 1, 2 & 7.

1 is not merging because it has no type - so it is unique.

2 & 7 are not merging because something is still unique about them - spelling of ID (spaces as mentioned) or a very small difference in size that is being rounded.

They look the same, but they are not.

I would duplicate the schedule and then start removing the fields one by one until you find the one that lets them merge.

Barry.
