hi,
I have a door in my project that is under a stair. the top of the door slopes to follow the stair gradient.
in my schedule I would it to read 'varies' for the height of the door. or 'as indicated'
height field only seems to accept a fixed number (for obvious reasons!) is there a workaround without having to add shared parameters etc?
You could add a project parameter to door category to adjust the schedule with, ie. similarly as an 'include in schedule' yes/no parameter. Then you might transfer it to a calculated field or conditional format...
Height is a Length parameter
"Varies" would be a text Parameter
Even if you add a Shared Parameter, it would not be possible to combine Text value and Length value in a formula. ie: you cannot override the default Height parameter and have it at one instance output/report Length and at another instance output/report Text...You can use dynamo but you will need an extra shared text parameter which dynamo sets its value...not worth the trouble for one doors or 2 ....
Easiest would be to add that Varies as a comment and use a different door tag that displays comment instead of Height

That's probably easiest... but otherwise/alternatively you could do a calculated (text) value something like [ if(hasvariableheight, "(as indicated)", "") ] and then combine those cells by removing the cell border in between similarly to a combined parameter... no way to override the dimension value itself though afaik, but an often used method is to blacken the field using a conditional format (unfortunately conditional formatting is a bit limited itself tbh)...
