How to get rid of extra row in door hardware legend

[billtheia]

Can someone out there tell me how to get rid of the extra row that appears in my door hardware legends (created using VA Create Schedule?)

See attached pics.

hello again!

The fact that it is row 4.1 means that VW sees a symbol someplace and is trying to report it.

This is how to at least find what it is seeing.

1. Turn the database headers on (like it is in your picture)

2. Drag the Sum marker out of the A column header [Don't put it in any other column header, just drag it away so it disappears (just like....). You don't want any columns summed for the next step]

3. Right click on the 4.1 column header. A flyout will appear that says Select Item

4. Left click on that Select Item flyout.

5. The drawing will zoom to that symbol in the drawing.

This will at least tell you where there is some hardware or something on that door that has no values in the database fields.

It looks like you have a door with no hardware assigned.

You can either assign hardware to all of your doors or edit the data base criteria to something like:

=DATABASE(((R IN ['Door']) & ('Door'.'OnSched'=TRUE) & ((R IN ['Door']) & ('Door'.'HWSetID'<>''))))

You can't do this using the pull down menus, but will have to do the edit criteria and then cancel. The criteria formula will still be visible in the formula bar and you can click in and edit it there.

Of course! I was thinking it must be hardware w/ no data. But it's a door w/ no hardware.

If that's the case, would it be easier to put the offending door in a class ("unopenable"?) and edit the criteria to add Class Is Not unopenable ?

You could do it with classes. Unless you are using classes for something else.

By using the Hardware Set ID and checking for it to be non blank, you should get only doors with hardware.

The default setup is good in that it will point out that you have doors without hardware. But if you don't want it to do so, you have to figure out the best way to "trick" it.

Thanks, Pat. That did the trick. I was wondering why ON SCHEDULE had fixed the problem in previous cases but not in this one. I have a couple of cased openings that don't have hardware but are included in the schedule.

Kind of a pain that I can't get to hardware using the pull-downs. How does one go about finding the right database header name for things like this? Is there a reference document out there somewhere?

Thanks, all for the help.

I use a script I wrote to examine the PIO record. It is available for download in the Resource Share - Vectorscript forum

I have submitted a bug on all of the door parameters not being accessible in the worksheet criteria dialog box.

I've used your script too. Thanks for posting it.

I'm a little bit surprised at the lack of documentation for much of VW. It makes it pretty dang difficult for anyone who is not a programmer to do any customization.
