what does this warning message mean

[kathey1]

i keep getting a warning message through out my project with beams:

'elements have duplicate 'mark' values'

i do not know what it means !

my project as been exported to me through fasttrak and i was wondering if any body knew how to solve the problem or if any knows why the warning message appears.

'Mark' is the parameter for an onbject that you use to 'uniquely' identify each object.

For example, your doors might have Mark values of DG01 DG02 DG03 on the ground floor, then D201, D202, D203 on the 2nd floor. The warning just states that two objects of the same Category have the same Mark. If you're scheduling that Category, you'll get two objects reported with that Mark, which will cause confusion. It's not a fatal error, but you should track down the duplicate Marks to keep things tidy.

You can find the 'mark' value in the element properties of an object.
