Scheduling volume of Joinery & Objects

[Vincent G_]

Hello,

I'm trying to understand if it's possible (and somehow accurate) to schedule some objects volume. Typically joinery items (I'm using Ci Cabinets & Wardrobe 23), and locker 23. 
I need to schedule these volumes to make sure we match the min. requirements. 

Here is my schedule for the external storage, I'm using Locker 23. 

The locker is 1700x875Dx2550H, should be ~3.8m3 brut (without counting the "frame"). I've tested every available volume but the only one working is net: 0.29 with the sum of all of them 4.35m3 

Obviously not right. The same happens when I try to do the same for internal storage (wardrobe 23 & Ci cabinet). 

Am I missing something? Or is it just that objects can't be scheduled unless GDLed specifically? 
I could use zones or columns on a special layer as I used to do but I thought why not trying to directly schedule the object to avoid extra maintenance,

Try to use "Classification & Properties" and define a New Property as shown below

@Rajesh Patil , you're a genius man! I did not even think of creating an expression to do that job. Legend! I'll try that this norning

So it works perfectly! 

To be a bit more accurate, I added "*0.9) in the expression to take into account the locker frame, (-10%).

For internal storage (robes, storage & kitchen cabinets) that 0.9 value might need to be more like 20%, I might run some testing on that but for now, I'll just add a note in the schedule saying that it's NOM. values only. 
As a trick, to schedule a storage area that is not defined by an object (partitions + doors without carcass for instance), I'd use a column on a specific "storage" layer (make sure you define a specific layer intersection & give it a "storage" dedicated material) so you can integrate that to the schedule.

This is a good solution. There is just one thing I do not understand: why do you create a Classification entry called "Volumn"? Or does "Volumn" mean something sensible I am not aware of?

Thanx for the appreciation 😊

Spelling Mistake 😉 being an architect, some creativity in spellings too 😁

I have created the new Classification "Volume (not Volumn) just for making things easier to understand. Nothing specific though.

I've myself used furniture rather than a new volume classification. I managed then to get different schedules by entering the right criteria. But Rajesh overall solution is great!

you have mentioned "As a trick, to schedule a storage area that is not defined by an object (partitions + doors without carcass for instance), I'd use a column on a specific "storage" layer (make sure you define a specific layer intersection & give it a "storage" dedicated material) so you can integrate that to the schedule. " I am unable to understand this, may be you can elaborate the same with some screenshots if get some free time.

OK, got it.
