I guess most architects came across the need to produce Fixtures, Fitting and Equipment schedules.
These schedules can 90% be produced from Archicad, since we need to place the relevant elements into the model for documentation purposes anyway.
The floor plan symbol and 3d/ elevation representation of elements such as Wash basins, taps etc are good enough for documentation, but for schedules, typically we would like ton add an image of the actual product.
It would be great if there was an "Image Property" that could be applied to the objects.
I know that the preview image of the objects can be changed, but that would change it in all projects that use the Archicad libraries.
Creating new project specific objects just to get the image right is a bit of an overstretch.
The below image represents a typical FFE schedule that we need to produce.
Apart from the images, everything comes from the model.
Unfortunately the images had to be added in the Layout Book.
(Which means that if the schedule changes, the images must be adjusted manually)
