Andrew Mac Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I am trying to achieve a certain look of a double hung window and can only achieve it by creating a custom window. In my window schedule, I would like for it to read in the sash orientation as a double hung(DH)- Is there any way to change the custom to a DH in my window schedule? Quote Link to comment
Chad Hamilton HAArchs Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Hi Mac - You can add a column in the schedule worksheet where you would like the window operation to be reported - probably next to the regular column "Sash Operation". Turn on Database Headers under View - in the database header of your new column, add the formula =IF((Window.SashOperation='Custom'), 'DH', Window.SashOperation) This will report all custom sash as "DH", so this is only practical if you have only the one Custom sash type. Because Window.SashOperation reports the text string as, for example, "Double Hung", you'll want to add additional logical tests in the string on the pattern of =IF((Window.SashOperation='Custom'), 'DH', IF((Window.SashOperation='Double Hung'), 'DH', IF((Window.SashOperation='Casement'), 'CMT', Window.SashOperation))) ... etc. This is also a useful way of converting any of VW's standard text reporting to the office convention.
