I have been pushing something like this for years. What I see is an INFO TEMPLATE for the sole use of creating schedules. It would be a floating palette that is designed by the user. INSTEAD of attaching property objects to elements in archiCAD, you could attach this INFO / PROPERTY template.
So... If you wanted a door schedule, you would attach a DOOR INFO TEMPLATE to each door (could be Auto-Attached by criteria as the property objects are now.). Certain info would be EXTRACTED by the template like HT, Width etc. Some would merely be TYPE in like Manufacturer, U-value etc.
This would mean that I would not have to pull my hair out each time I use a new door that DOESN'T have the proper parameters for my scheduling.
Anyway, you get the idea.
Anyone ready to jump on board?
