custom property seen in schedules but not in plans

Hi everyone,

 

I have a custom property that displays the diameter of openings in my project.

In schedules the values come trough and are shown, but in my plans they do not. I only get the property name shown in my label.

 

Does anybody know what could be the issue?

 

Cheers

Hi!

 

A few possible issues I can think of:

  • Label is not attached to an element
  • Label is attached to an element which is not classified correctly / the element doesn't have the property available
  • There are some properties for which a 3D model generation is necessary (e.g. window area in a room). These properties are not available for labels. So if you use them in an expression, the expression is not evaluated when displayed in a label. (See this topic for more details: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Graphisoft-Technology-Preview/Expressions-Labels-and-Graphic-Ove...)

Please double check this points and let us know if the issue still persists.

Ive checked and:

- label is connected

- classification is not an issue since the values come trough in schedules

 

Ive simplified the expression which made the property work for different kinds of openings. It reads the opening shape and based on this returns the hole ϕ or b/h value with added prefix and suffix. I took out the IF statements relating to opening shape and the expression works in schedules and labels too.

 

Curious one...

 

 

That's weird. The opening shape is available in labels (at least in AC28 which I tested):

Can you share your expression for us to try?
And which AC version are you using?
