I’m massing a mixed use development and trying to get the schedules for the mass areas for the different uses (i.e. residential, retail, etc..) the masses are also color coded based on the use. This is a description of my method, let me know if someone has a better way of doing it.
I mass each use in a separate mass, I assign that mass a description (retail, residential) in the instance properties under “comments”
I create a Mass Floor schedule, and I add the mass comments in the fields so that it sorts them based on use.
What I initially wanted to do is to schedule based on the material assigned to the mass, this way I am always certain the for example all the yellow masses are residential and all the red are commercial. But I didn’t find a way to do that, so I am using the mass comments field instead.
Any ideas about any drawbacks for this approach, or any other ways of achieving this?
