X15 how to generate multiple schedules of a category (cabinets, doors, windows, . . . )?

[GeneDavis]

Just watched one of @Renerabbitt's excellent YouTube videos, the one about numbering cabinets in install sequence to help with delivery and installation, and he shows towards the end how he has his fillers, a cabinet-category item type, in a separate schedule.

 

He does not show how this separate schedule gets generated, and I'd like to know.

 

In my example I want to schedule all bathroom cabinetry separately from kitchen.

 

So, how does one do this?

You could create two schedules and use the room filter.  This only works if you don't need to combine cabinets from multiple rooms. If you need multiple rooms, then you can create custom categories and filter the schedule by object categories.

Rene also uses a pretty complex proprietary macro system to generate many of his schedules, so he's able to get some results that we can't really get OOTB without having the macro skills, which I do not unfortunately.

Fillers and partitions are there own category, so just remove them from the cabinet schedule and include them in another schedule but remove base/full/wall cabinets
