BruceKC Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Does anyone know why my door schedules have odd descriptions, such as Hinged-Door P02, or Garage-Door p12? Talked to support and although they were great as always, they weren't sure why the default macros are giving me those strange descriptions. One garage door shows "Garage-Door P12), the other says "Garage-Design 2 - Rec 14. Totally puzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply make a copy of the plan file, and strip it down, then zip it up. Or use a dropbox or google drive link. The plan file is pretty important to seeing what's going on...in the plan file! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceKC Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Thanks for your input, I zipped the plan and attached it, as well as a pdf of the schedules themselves. The window schedules work fine, but the doors have me completely baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceKC Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 From what I can tell looking those things up in the library, they are specific door styles from the Chief Library. Hmmm. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. Thanks everyone. As an experiment add the following 2 columns to your schedule: Type and Style. Together those form most of the automatic description. And your right, the description takes the name of the Library symbol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution robdyck Posted August 30, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 30, 2022 Depending on what info you want included, you could use these 2 columns to drop the library symbol name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceKC Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Robert, that looks great! I'm going to try it and let you know! Enjoy Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceKC Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Robert, I used the "ex/in" and type and that will work for me. Style still delineates the "style of the door from the library", which I don't see how that would be relevant unless it were a custom homeowner's project. You've been a great help, thanks again!
