LINKING FLOOR VALUES PHASES

[wisedrawing]

Weird one,

I have 2 floors overlapping as one is existing then demolished in 'new construction phase' and one is proposed in new construction phase.

I have them totally separate and they work, BUT

in the floor schedule one shows up and the phases show varied. if I change it in the table it then tells me floors overlap and the existing floor that is demolished becomes a new floor 

they seemed to become linked by the floor schedule??

I have deleted them both and started again, they start totally separate but the table only shows one and has the phase varies again. yet if I look at each individual floor they have the correct phases. its only when I change it on the table that it seems to force the existing floor into a new floor???

any ideas?

here as set up and as it should be showing both phases (show all)

but if I change the phase created and demolished on the table it will take the red hatch floor that is supposed to get demolished and turn it into a new floor and then tell me they are overlapping. 

More information:

I deleted the floor schedule and started a new one

that seemed to fix it - however

it seems that the view that I have open affects the floor schedule when I create it, I thought that would have nothing to do with it, and what populates it.

I need help on how setting up the floor schedule seems to affect the schedule in this way by linking it all. the schedule I used I have used in a template for ages and it never did that before.

confused!

@wisedrawing 

The first schedule you had was giving the correct readings. The only issue with it was that the new/proposed Laundry PWD had the same Mark as the existing one 

Below is the explanation

The above schedule (the first one you had) implies that you have 2 or more floors elements which has the same (Mark) and the same area that are created and demolished at different phase. And the schedule is sorted using Descending values of, first the Area and then the Mark. Appart from the Mark which should be unique, this schedule is reading correctly. From the schedule I understand that you have 2x Laundary PWD each of 10m2 And if IEE is unchecked the phase created/demo'd would showas follows

• Laundry Floor 1: Existing / New Construction
• Laundry Floor 2: New Construction/None

The what happened in the above instance was that the Laundry floors having identical Mark  and you unchecking Itemize Every Instance combined both rows into one and calculated the total of their Area 10x2

Below is how your scheduled looked like (from first image) and what I think you were expecting it to look like
