TOLYA S Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hi, I have been using Vectorworks for years, but have always manually made my own window/door schedules. I'd like to know how to generate a window and door schedule from the window/door symbols from Vectorworks. This seems like it should be easy to do, but I can't find a tutorial anywhere. Would really appreciate help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 @TOLYA S the most straightfroward way involves a couple of steps - first, in the Window dialog, be sure that "Include On Schedule" is checked, give the window an ID - either a letter as you see in the illustration below, or a number... then under TOOLS > Reports > Create Report, choose to create Preformatted Report...scroll down until you find "Window Schedule", click OK and place the schedule on a sheet (if so desired)... Door Schedules work exactly the same... Enjoy Wes Quote Link to comment
shorter Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 It depends if you are using the window tool or not. If not and you use symbols, set up a custom record format with all the information you need in your schedule and associate the record format to the symbol. 2 Quote Link to comment
TOLYA S Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thank you! I got it to work. Now it shows all windows as doubled though... any ideas? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 @TOLYA S I assume you are using parametric windows from the Window Tool... You may be inadvertently picking up windows that are in your viewports...try UNCHECKING "Viewport Annotations" in the Criteria of the worksheet. To access - - double click on the Schedule to access the worksheet - Under View (of the worksheet), make sure "Database Headers" has a checkmark next to it - The left-hand column of the worksheet will have a row with a black DIAMOND shape (this is the Database Header Row - in the example, it's #4) - Right-click on the Diamond and choose "Edit Criteria" - you should see a screen similar to what I posted - uncheck the appropriate items - notice the "Objects that meet this criteria" figure - it should change... If this DOES NOT work, you may have accidentally duplicated windows... Quote Link to comment
shorter Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Easiest way to check is to right click on the row in the spreadsheet and choose select item from the pulldown menu. It will take you to the window in the model/file. 1 Quote Link to comment
