AutoCAD Architecture :: Make Door Schedule Having Room Name
Mar 6, 2011I need to make the door schedule have the room name in it. I am using the project based door tag so it is already numbered like the room tag.

View 2 Replies--Is there a way to do a door schedule by styles rather than individual door?
--To clarify: I want my door schedule to create a new door number only when one or more of the property sets, classifications, or door styles pertaining to a door are not defined by other doors in the schedule. This would facilitate giving the same door number to multiple doors that have matching schedule information, and cut down on my schedule size.
--how to do this. If I need to create custom tags, schedules, or formula properties.
I've created a number of spaces, and I want the space name to show up in a Room schedule. Here is a picture of the Properties window with one of my spaces selected. The space name is 'Spanish 2'. see first attachment
I understand I need to add a column to my room schedule that has this value in it. Here is an image from the 'Edit Schedule Table Style' dialog and the 'add column' sub dialog.

which one of this rather lengthy list is the correct one? I've tried all the values that have 'name' in them but all I get is '?' in my schedule. I've attached the file I'm working on. I created the spaces by dragging and dropping from the tool palettes out of the box, and the room schedule the same way.
I am creating a schedule to pick up the room areas and additional information to do with artificial lighting. That bit is the easy bit.
What I am trying to do is put a column in the schedule that shows how many light points are within that particular space. I have looked into ticking the quantity box, but that picks up just the spaces. If there was a way that this could be used to pick up the blocks in a particular space, and not the spaces that would be the simplest way to solve this (I think anyway).
Just to let you know, I am using Dynamic Blocks for the light fittings. As I can have all the different types within the one block. I have heard that I can do this using the MultiView blocks (I haven't explored this yet), but the amount of blocks that I need is going to be increased (from what I know about MultiView blocks). The simpler this is, the better I believe.
I have tried using Count under the Automaitc Property, but when used, adds the blocks as an extra row, not into the desired column. I may have to add something to the block to get it to do what I want it to do, but don't know how to do this. At the moment, I am putting this information manually into the space properties.
The next part to my question, and again, I maybe asking a bit too much here, but I want to take two totals from two different columns to create an average. If I could do this in the one table, fantastic! If I have to create a second schedule to pick this up, that is ok I suppose, but I would then do the math for it manually and just write it in if that was the case.
I'm using ACA 13
I am having trouble trying to edit the title fonts in a door schedule. No matter which font I pick under "Edit Schedule Table Style" after a selection of the schedule and right clik, the title font will not change. The listed doors font does change. Is it not poosible to change the title and descriptor font?

I am editing an old file set up by another firm that is used by our clients to keep track of room sizes etc, which has a room data table and room tags tied to area polylines. It has worked just fine on our 2013 Acad Architecture, but when I sent them (saved down to 2010) back to our client, using 2012 Acad Architecture, the tags disappear and the table is unpopulated.It seems like it must have something to do with the file originally being created way back when, along with some quirk between 2012 and 2013.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI working on a deadline with little sleep, but I cannot believe it is this hard to get an overhead door to look right. All I want is a 1" thick frame, the same depth as the wall AND the door slab to be INSIDE the frame like a real overhead door.
The attached PDF shows the standard OH door on the left with the stupid door centered in the frame. The door on the right is one I created by inserting a cased opening in the wall, then manually drawing a rectangle and dashed line for the OH swing. All I am interested in is getting this right in plan at this point. Using Architecture 64 bit.
I have ACAD Arch 2012 and I am trying to associate my door tags with my door schedule and visa versa. I get as far as creating the Door Schedule with all the doors on it and quantified just the way you would want to see it; however, the "Mark" remains "A" for every door. I discovered that I can change the Mark on the extended properties of each door, but I believe there should be a better (and more linked) way to accomplish this. Since the program already recognizes how many doors there are of a specific style it should be able to put sequential "marks" to each door, for example "A", "B", "C", etc.
what's the difference between Door Tags - Project Based and regular Door Tags?
I want to be able to add rooms through the schedule prior to placing them in the model. I thought I would be able to do that by going to the Modify Schedule/ Quanties Tab and clicking New in the Rows columns but the new option is blanked out and not selectable.

I can't seem to get both to coexist in one schedule. I would hate to place New room in the new construction phase to make this happen.
I am trying to add the typical category of "glazing" to a door schedule, but when I add a door with glass into my project, I cannot make this information show up on my schedule. I need typical information such as "!/4" Temp" and "1" Insul" under the category of glazing. I added the "Door: Glass" heading in the schedule, but nothing appears when I add a glass door into the project. I was able to easily do this in AutoCAD Architecture.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I've created a door schedule and added all the parameters I needed. But to get the "room name" to list and be associated with the door tags I had to choose either if the doors were going to a room or from a room, so I chose to, however, some of the doors swing are leaving the room so instead of tagging them with the corridor we want them associated with the room. But I can't edit the column the room names are in. If I click on a cell it gives me a drop menu on the side of what I can choose for that cell and it doesn't have the listed room that I need. It does not let me just type in the cell is there a way to fix this?! The blue highlighted name shows my option of what I can list as the room name or I can leave it blank, it lets me click inside the cell as if I could just put text in it but it actually doesn't show anything that I type.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn a recent meeting wtih cilent, we asked her to review the Finish Schedule. She pointed out that one of the ceilings was supposed to be gypsum board rather than ACT. Looking on our RCP, it was showing gyp board, but the schedule, which is populated from the Room Properties, was calling out (the non-updated) ACT 2x2.
Is there some way to link the ceiling type directly to the finish schedule directly, rather than make double changes (updating the room properties and the actual ceiling type) in order for the proper information to be showing? Seems odd and not very useful to have this kind of redundancy and something that should have been worked out long ago in Revit.
I am trying to create a Schedule that figures out Light Power density for each room. The first issue is getting Lights to register what room they are located in. The next issue is getting the room area parameter to show up in the available fields. It is funny b/c Volume shows up but not the room area. How hard could that have to been to add that to the available list since volume is there.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble creating custom schedule tags. I have followed the tutorial "to create a schedule tag", but it does not work for me. First off it is not annotative, I created it in 1 to 1 scale and checked the plotting scale to ensure it is 1 to 1.
Also, it creates the block, and I get it into the tool pallet, but when selected, it just inserts a block. I am trying to create a door tag, so when I select it from the tool pallet, it does not ask me to select a door to tag, just inserts the block.
The tag I want to create is very simple, I want to modify the OTTB Door Tag - Project Based, to remove the suffix and center the door number.
The architect has a schedule set up that will schedule his room numbers and names. He draws spaces for each room.
I want to add perimeter and area to this. I copied this room schedule in the tool pallete, renamed it with "trial", added columns for perimeter and area, BUT STILL GET ? FOR VALUES!
I've looked everywhere and it should work. When I look at "properties" of the space it shows area and perimeter, but I can't figure out how to extract the info.
Possible to send attribute data that is in our title block to a schedule that is populated with property set definitions? We are not using the Project Navigator at this time.

Is there a workaround to what I am trying to do? I just want to create a table that has a list of all the spaces sorted by name, give a quantity of the spaces and the combined area of all those spaces in one row of the table.
Roughly:
King 4 2000sf
Queen 2 1000sf
Suite 4 3000sf
My attached schedule gives a row for each space, except that it groups spaces of exact same areas. I want a single row for each room type.
Also, when working with spaces sometimes using Space_Add, Generate I am met with the response that a space already exists and no space can be added. The "phantom" space does not show up in the schedule, thawing all layers does not reveal any space and I've tried all my selection tricks to parse a space from the closed boundary that appears empty.
Any routine or tool that simplifies calculating and labeling floor areas?
Currently, I draw a polyline around the desired area, list it to get the square footage and then create a text line and type in the square footage. This method takes multiple steps and is easy to mistype the area.
I would love a simple tool that would let you draw a polyline and automatically label it for you.
