any feedback on window and door sched's. Concerning remodeling work, I'd like to have three schedules: 1- all existing units 2- all demolished units & 3- all new units Is there a way to have the schedules attached to the phasing of the project ie. existing, demolished, new construction, in the same fashion as you can have different views that show the progression of the project? Is there a better way to handle this? Don't really want to add information to the items through the filter options in the schedules

I use family and project parameters to control the schedules for new / existing / demo and other needs. lots of flexibilty. by adding the parameters at the project level you can have the options added to many families and types so it's not just for doors and windows. Also, I use about 100 preconstructed schedules in my projects. So, a schedule for each sheet or type of work or specific use of the schedule is created automatically (filtered and queried) when I go through and make my parameter selections and data entry in the "master" set of schedules. the other schedules are all subsets of my master schedules.

Schedules follow the current phase and phase filter rules exactly the same as views...

On the topic of schedules; has anyone had experience in creating a schedule template? Similar to creating a titleblock and having it appear automatically when you open a new project?

We have door, room, window and drawing schedules all set up and placed on sheets in our project template. No reason to have seperate templates.

i guess my question is really how did you make it part of your project template? did you just set up whatever information you want on the schedules and then once you start drawing and adding rooms, doors, windows, etc. it starts to compile information in your schedules?

That's correct. The schedule is set up to read all of the correct data, format it and display it on the drawing sheet. Just doesn't have any data in it until we add an element. Then it is filled in automatically. In addition, we may have several working schedules that are never placed on drawings. We use these to organize our elements so we can quickly fill in data. Your door schedule on the drawing sheet may show every door by number (show all instances) but one of these working schedules may show the doors organized by room type and not show every instance. In that manner, all 200 doors on the project can be filled in on one line except for the room number & name. THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL TOOL !!!!

This is outside my needs... but.. my first plan would be to create a parameter or 3 that would be read by all objects or by the phasing selection(1st choice ... but may not be possible without programming.) So, each object would have y/n family parameter or selectable phase selction parameter.. you would want flexibility to have an object show in multiple phases... The parameter would "read" the phasing parameter... to determine visibility... Is there a simpler or more subtle approach? I think the worst approach would be to have multiple schedules for this .. but if it is a "one time" thing.. it may be the best ways to go.. Then the schedules would do all the filtering and reading of visibility... to show in the schedule.. but would the drawings match the schedule.. when filtered. I look forward to you finding a simple and effective approach.. to this need.. as always.. we are driven by need and then desire.. to spend time creating new solutions..

help me ? I'm creating a Plumbing Fixture Schedule and i need to see the materials as well as dimensions and they are not showing up in my schedule sheet. I also tried to add a parameter to it but it seem that it's not linking to the actual material in the Fixture family.

Is there a way to shade (hatch, infill, etc.) every other line in schedules so they are easier to read crosswise? RA 2009
