Markvl Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Probably not but is their anyway to compile or rotate a worksheet from the vertical to the horizontal. I"ve attached a snapshot of a part of a window schedule where I'm showing the images of the windows along with their corresponding ID. It's quite tall though. It would visually look better if it were horizontal. Any thoughts, ideas, workaround folks? Maybe I'd have to use a separate function calling out each ID separately? Quote Link to comment
nrkuhl Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I've looked into this before, and you can't go horizontal with a database-based worksheet. I wish you could, it would actually allow us to fully automate our opening schedules. Our format for commercial projects is to do both a standard, non-graphic schedule, combined with a series of opening elevations showing each style of opening. It's my least favorite sheet to create because on larger projects I have to create and edit a couple dozen small section viewports. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I appreciate your thoughts @nrkuhl. I've done a combination of your workflow too. Having read that the image function was improved I thought I'd give it a go. I just don't like the vertical format as it's to tall and to make the images smaller in mind is a plain useless exercise.

michaelk Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 You can sort of do it. I'll attach a simple example. It uses a "secret" row to index and then concatenates just that cell in each column to pull the value to call for the window ID. It will fall down and require some help if you skip a window ID number or have a non integer value for the window ID. But if you don't do that, it only requires one time to set it up and it can be reused in future drawings. hth mk Window_Schedule.vwx Quote Link to comment

Got it, unfortunately I think it's a product of the worksheet database functionality, and unrelated to the image functionality. @michaelk that's pretty neat! Unfortunately one of the things we do with our opening schedules is show the dimension of the sill above AFF - which may preclude the use of worksheets altogether for our process, since the product is an image.

nrkuhl Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Also, this is OT, but @michaelk, that was a vw2016 file, right? I just opened it in 2017 without a conversion prompt or anything. New SP2 feature? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 2017. But there's nothing in this example you couldn't do in almost any version. And I don't think showing the height above FF is a problem. mk Quote Link to comment
nrkuhl Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Oh, I was confused because it downloaded with the 2016 icon color. I meant more in the context of using a dimension line to do so. I know I could add a row to show the height just as text. Quote Link to comment
