Thank you!

I have been struggling with this. I am new to the slab and slab drainage tools, and they feel intuitive for traditional internal roof drains. My flat roof will be draining through scuppers at a perimeter wall (with no internal drains) and I can't seem to "get" how to make this happen. I see that VW requires that I place drains within the boundaries of the slab perimeter while a scupper in real life actually happens at the edge. When I try to place one at the edge of a slab get just a small corner of pitch and the rest of the slab is gone I have viewed a number of good videos about slab drainage as well as scoured the internet on this topic. I have seen a number of situations where scuppers have been mentioned or included in posts or videos, but no indication of the steps required to achieve this. I am sure that once this is explained, it will result in a forehead-slapping, DOH! moment for me, like so many other things in VW, but I'm stuck with a nasty deadline, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

thank you Pat!

I got it! the edit criteria in the database header is where the criteria needed to be changed. thanks so much!

that sounds good, as all of the buildings are on their own separate layers What I attempted did not work though. I made a duplicate of the door schedule with all doors on it. I then went into that duplicate and changed the paste criteria to be "layer is" and then selected the appropriate layer for a building. I assumed that when I re-calculated the schedule it would eliminate all the doors that were not on that layer, but it actually kept all of the non-layer doors on as well. I then assumed that maybe i needed to create a new schedule and did so with a different name, but that also brought in all of the doors. I am thinking maybe that I need to create a schedule with the appropriate criteria going in, or maybe I have to change something on each specific door schedule? thanks so much -

Hi everyone - I'm new to this board, but have been a user since minicad. Here's my dilemma (can't find any threads on it) I'm working on a renovation project that is actually 10 individual building sites. For the sake of convenience, since they will be bid as a group, and also because I am using common details among the sites, I have grouped all the buildings into one document. I currently have all the doors from the various buildings on one door schedule, but it would be better if I could develop a door schedule, for the doors of each specific building, but all within this one large document. Door settings does not allow me to assign the doors to a specific, and I do want to continue to have the doors linked via their symbol. ANy ideas?
