Hi All,
I'm attempting to create a room schedule for my floor plan that shows Room Number, Room Name, Area, and Ceiling Height. First off, I would like to tag the rooms with just the Room Number, and not both the number and name - can that be done? Second, I'm able to schedule the Room Numbers and Names correctly, but the Area and Ceiling Height columns are filled with ? marks. This is strange because I can clearly see the space area in the properties tab when I click on each space. *In the attached screenshot, note how both the base area and space height are visible in the properties tab when I have a space selected.* Any suggestions as to why these data aren't translating to the schedule?
Thanks,
TJ

I will only respond as to the name, number etc.
I created a custom tag for our office and in creating the tags instead of everything being on layer zero to start, I created specific layers just for these tags and placed the different elements on them. I set these to 'color by layer' so that colors can still be manipulated for faded drawings.
As such, I can insert the tag and through layer control I can see 1, 2 or all elements of the tag. You can even have 'no plot' layers if there is info. you like to see during production but it will never be plotted for a construction document. It is very versatile and works well for us.
Hope this helps some.

Post another photo with the Extended Data tag of the properties palette extended.
Your tag references property set data right?

Hi Keith,
AutoCAD Architecture automatically makes a layer for my room tags (called A-Area-Spce-Iden). The problem is that the tag objects themselves consist of both a name and a number...I was wondering if there was a way to cut out the name from the tag, so that I only see the number on my floor plan. The name will then be listed alongside the number in the schedule.
I don't really know what you mean with your second comment, but here's a new screenshot, perhaps it will shed some light.

I did it! Here's what I did: First I exploded each tag (twice) and deleted the Room Name, leaving just the Room Number. Second, to solve the schedule issue, I simply clicked the Add All Property Sets button on the contextual ribbon tab. Thanks David and Keith, big help!
