Room Name Schedule, Short Name / Long Name?

[ACADuser]

I have a Room Sch with room number & Room Name.
Due to the size of the room label & the room itself, the room name is often shortened.
Like Equip2  for Equipment 2. So in the Label needs the short one & the Schedule needs the long one.
To complicate matters using custom room labels makes the plan too slow with 77 rooms on the 1st floor.
I see extra columns in the room number schedule like "Code" & "Comment" but only see these referenced from the room in the material list associated with that room.

Any solution to that issue?

Could you use a Room Finish Schedule with Room Name and Room Type ?  Enter the Room Number Manually and let the Name and Type populate automatically ( once they are set up to function that way ).

I use Notes and note schedules for these types of things now.

This is really the case where we need the OIP added to Rooms.  It's one of my pet peeves that this hasn't been done yet.

When using notes, labels & other non-room label schedules there seems to be a performance hit when panning & zooming with such a large number of schedule items.

The Rich Text Labels with macros in them noticeably slow the program down. This is not evident with built-in room labels.

Obviously, Chief did not plan on a 77 room house but using the program on commercial buildings is bring to light the programming shortfalls.

We (I) need a way to stop the refresh of the Table & notes to speed things up.

Window & door schedules are not as bad but I wait as late as I can to add them to the plan.

So with visible schedules for room finishes, doors, notes, room numbers and windows the plan can be painfully slow for a 77 room plan.

I often delay creating the window & door schedules to help.

Alan,

 

The slowdown with using Rich Text Labels is probably because of the way Chief handles "Rich Text".  If you make those labels using Standard Text it will probably work better.

Thanks for the tip Joe, I'll give it a try.
