Schedule Not Showing System Family

[LeeUUSLM]

Hi All, 

I have created a Schedule to include all elements that contain the wording "Wall" within a custom parameter of "construction_type". 

I have loaded the Shared Paramater "construction_type" into a structural beam family and loaded it into my project and it is reporting fine. 

However when I load the same Shared Paramater "construction_type" into the project and assign it to the Wall and Roof system families and add the same wording of "Wall" it doesn't show. 

Am I missing something ? Is there a reason why it would work with a normal family but not a system family ? 

Or why it would work when the parameter is loaded at a family level but not when loaded directly into the project ? 

Thanks in advance, 

Lee

Multi category schedules do not work with system families.

Thanks ToanDN, 

That will be why then ! 

Is there any work around with this ? 

I was hoping to create a schedule that would give a clear indication to all the modelled elements broken down into Roofing and Walling categories and then subdivided within the schedule to the Product system and system components. 

Take a rainscreen wall for example. 

The brackets and rails will be modelled as components however the cement particle board would be modelled in as a system family wall.

You can create a multi category schedule for non system families and single category schedules for system families, then place them on the same sheet.

Maybe consider Assemblies and Parts Lists.
