Window Labels / Callout

[Ange822]

Hi there,

 

I am new to the window schedule / labels and needing some help.

Is it possible to number the windows clockwise around the house rather than just randomly allocating numbers?

Is there also a way to label them starting with 0 for the basement, and 1 for main floor, 2 for 2nd floor etc.

 

I was hoping there would be a way to have the window number above the window size.

I tried playing around with "both callout and label" but I'm struggling to make it work.

 

thanks in advanced!

You can reposition the order in the schedule.  The first column allows you to drag up or down and the label updates in the plan.

 

 

I don't know about floor zero numbering.

Oh wow that is great!! Thank you so much!!  

 

How did you change the size of the window to have the subscript number as the inches?

 

Is there also a way to have the basement as 001, 002, 003... and then the Main Floor as 101, 102, 103.. and then I can just re-order them?

This is super easy, as long as you are OK with creating a separate schedule for each floor:

    1.  set the schedule to only include objects from floor 1.

    2.  change the schedule number prefix to "W1" or just "1".

    3.  make sure "include leading zeroes" is checked.

    4.  create another schedule for each floor and change the floor number and prefix to either 0 or 2 or whichever floor you need.

 

Now if you want it to look like one schedule, you could remove the title and column headers from the extra schedules and position them next to each other.  You just need to keep making manual adjustments if your column or row sizes change.  There are other ways to do this but they are more complicated.

Once you have the schedules the way you want, its easy to over lay and align the columns. Rather than turning off the titles I usually adjust to remove with the layout box. You can align into one continuous schedule with the centering tool and the point to point in layout.

Just to add to what others have said, you have a couple of tools in the object toolbar to edit schedule numbering...

 

You can change the window's position in the schedule using these up and down arrows, with the window selected:

 

Also, if after adding the schedule you happen to delete a window, it may cause a gap in the numbering. There's a tool to renumber the schedule and eliminate numbering gaps:

Thank you everyone for your help with this topic!!  

 

Would anyone know how to do the subscript numbers for the size of the windows / doors?

Not sure if there is a way to have the window number / callout and label both shown in a bubble?

I paid Alaskan Son to create the superscript option.  He was fast and reasonable.  It takes a modified font that he provides, I chose modified ARIAL.

Then I set all my font type to ARIAL and the window and door openings to the modified ARIAL.

 

Rene also provides this, I don't know if it is only in his plan template or can be sold as an individual item.
