broc croll Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Whose got the best trick to find missing doors & windows that show up on my shedules but are no where to be seen on the drawing? My goal is to be able to use these schedules without having to mask over the items that are duplicated or otherwise not wanted on the schedule. Thanks in advance! Broc Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Create an extra column or two. Then in the database header/formula cell enter =L (will return the layer the item is on) and/or =C (will return the class. Usually if I know the layer and class of the "ghost" item, I'm able to track it down and delete it. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
J. Johnson Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Another option is to use the custom selection tool. I've had the same problem, and found that I had inadvetently attached a door/window record to a wall or a tag. The schedule was listing the record from the wall as a door. Check items near the id #. Good luck! -Jake Quote Link to comment
broc croll Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Thanks. By using Travis's suggestion, I discovered I had objects in classes I never would have searched that were the problem. How a line in a reflected ceiling plan can end up with a door record, I don't know. I had limited success with custom selection tool in general. Can anyone explain the particularities or the limitations of this tool when searching for windows and doors in walls. I had no success searching inside of all containers, nor would it locate objects with particular record field values. I couldn't even find doors and window I could plainly see! Thanks, Broc Quote Link to comment
