Schedules

[l3fty]

I'm new at schedules and I was having trouble with tagging door that are the same with the same mark. Instead it creates a separate mark for each door even when it is a the same door. Also I was curious if there was a way to note door swing sides that is error proof. Any ideas?

1.Use Door Tag with Type Mark instead of Mark .

Make a new Door Tag as follows:

Load this new tag into the project and use it as default for your doors

2. In order to make difference between two similar doors but with different opening - Left and Right, make two Families. I used a ready made Door Family and I saved as two different families one for the right opening , the other for the left opening direction. I've drawn two 2d drawings showing opening ( using mirror). I've errased both Double Horizontal  Control Flip and Double Vertical  Control Flip. I used instead , Single Horizontal Control Flip.

Load into the Project.

Attach the new made Door Tag.

In Door Schedule change the name of the Door Tags into something like I did:   U1L and U1R - these change will be done in all instances...

Here is a recording I've made on the subject ( as described in my previous post)

But if you mirror the door or mirror the wall, the tag will be wrong again..... 😞

and press spacebar while inserting can give a wrong mark also

the method is an workaround made to solve a problem that is not taken in consideration by the standard  Door Family.

1. about Mirror : any workaround has limitations......Mirror is a function that creates problems in Revit ( I had , for instance, big problems when I tried to mirror Component > Model in Place...Even if grouped they act unexpectedly..and you have to use other workarounds) .
2. abot Space -flipping...I didn't observe it to happen with my settings...the door is kipping the opening orientation...

I've applied this workaround from a necessity and , for me , worked well enough to control from Door Schedule the door position and type counting (if I had not to use door mirroring.).....

For adding swing direction parameter in shedulig i use the Swing direction tool. Its usage is posted on http://revittools.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/door-swing/. Swing calculation can be done also on windows.
