I am working on a 6 building development, and am currently developing the general massing and suite mix/size for each floor. I am using Space objects to develop my floor plates and overall massing, and have set up a series of worksheet databases to track my saleable, buildable and parkade area so i can calculate my overall area totals and FSR for the project. I also need to keep a running total of how many of each type of unit I have (Studio, 1 bed, 2 bed, etc). To keep this tallied, i have added a series of User Defined Fields, one for each unit type. I then manually enter a "1" for each row that contains a unit of that type so that i can sum them all up at the end. I am assuming I could simply set up my databases to automatically tally each unit type separately, but I want to be able to sort them by Unit number in ascending order so when we present to the Client they are neatly ordered. Unfortunately, I am finding that every once in a while when I recalculate my databases, a random assortment of my user defined fields will refuse to tally. The information is there, but the top row of the database shows a blank cell (not a "0," but an actual blank cell). It happens at random times and to random User Defined fields, which tells me I'm probably using them improperly. Along with this, it means I have to manually enter information, which opens up the possibility of human error (there are approximately 615 units). Is there a better way to tally up my unit count? I have attached the file for reference. The database tables are on the "Project Information" design layer, and all the space objects live on the various "Outline and Areas" Layers. Thank you, Brett 24145-DP Brett.vwx
