interactive schedules

Hi just wondering if anyone else has come across this.
When using the interactive scheduler, the orientation of the opening side, of all swinging and sliding windows and doors is shown as left, even if the opening orientation is right. (in the orientation column and the preview picture)
If I use the standard window schedule 1, it will show the opening orientations as all 0.
If I use the standard door schedule 1, it will show the opening orientations correctly. I then copied and modified this list scheme and got it to include windows as well as doors and now it works fine for both.
thankyou........

Seems to work fine in the US library - was just giving a friend a tutorial today, and his doors were coming up with the proper swing. Only a handful of the possible doors in the library, mind you, so it might be a case of luck.

Interesting to see it works for someone else
yes I thought maybe it was the symbol because I use the Australian symbol library, so I tried with the standard library door and window sybols and still no fun. I thought also it could be a corrupted layout from the list scheme so I reinstalled Archicad, still no fun.

any ideas

When you reinstalled ArchiCAD did you go into C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Graphisoft\IS Settings..
and throw your settings folders??? Just an idea here. May be if you throw them it will help..

Thanks for the suggestion, I didnt even realise that folder existed, well actually it doesnt on my machine for some reason. I do have a folder at C:\Program Files\ArchiCAD 8\Add-Ons\Standard named IS Default Settings, do you think that this would contain the same information ? or do you have this folder on you system as well

Regards

Sorry I missed this one..

Ben by default the application folder is hidden on WinXP. I'm not sure what OS you are using. It's been a while since I used Win2K but if I remeber right its the same even in Win2K.

I suspect that this is the reason why you are not seeing this folder as it resides in the application data folder..

HTH.
Cheers
