Door Schedule Dimensions

[Anonymous]

I have both single leaf doors and multi- leaf doors...is there a way to format the formula in the schedule so that it will give me a W x H x T dimension and a PR W x H x T dimension in the same column to correspond with the correct door?

I have tried just having the column display the PR W x H x T dimension, however on the single leaf doors it will only display a singular number. For Example, the Property Sets in the door show me a 3'-0" x 7'-0" x 1-3/4" dimension but in the schedule it only displays as 3.

Like this?

What Property Data Format do you have assigned to the column displaying the Door's dimensions?  Try setting it to Length - Long; that is what was used in the image above and the attached file (done in ACA 2020 - 2018 file format).

Just noticed that you mention formatting a formula.  Are you creating the size property in a Formula property?  That can be done, but you would have to build the string output to show feet and inches if you do that.

My example uses the DoorSize-PRWxHxT automatic property source to generate the results shown in the Schedule Table.  Applying the Length - Long Property Data Format to that property gives the results shown, without having to painstakingly determine the Door type (single, double, uneven, etc., etc.) and then calculate the feet and inch values for width, height and thickness and finally assemble them into a string (including "PR" etc. where appropriate).

Yes, that is what I am trying to get the schedule to do... the issue that I was having was that for the single doors, it was just showing a single number, and not maintaining the same dimension formatting as for the double or bi-fold doors.

I see in your schedule you just made a column of that property set and not a formula column. I think that's where my problem is.

I tried it this morning but just creating a column of that property set instead of a formula column and it worked exactly as it was supposed to. 

Thank you!
