Kbird1 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 it comes from the OIP Description Field AFAIK which you can edit..... you can also double click it in the Component panel to edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Symbol Name usually AFAIK but Windows and Doors being Parametric it maybe Hard-coded? I didn't play with it more.... I guess it's not using the name you gave it in the library?

ACADuser Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Your suggestion fixed the data in the Door Schedule. The user library door has the same automatic description so it must be hard coded. So I changed the description in the library door in the OI description so it is correct in the door sch.

ACADuser Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Object Name. The door has no symbol to edit that I see. I just selected the exterior door & used the Add to Library tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya sorry forgot Doors and Windows being Parametric don't have "Symbol" status , it is how I rename other Stuff for Schedule eg a Generic Fridge or Washer and Dryer , Faucets etc , so the correct name shows in Schedule even if I don't have a true 3D model.
