Hi Guys,

I'm in need of your help. I have created a room schedule with a floor to ceiling height field which you just type in the floor to cieing height of the room, I then added a calculated field which calculates the room Volume (=Area * Floor to Ceiling). This calculates the volumes for me, the bit where I get stuck is how th get this field to appear in a room tag like you can get the area to appear.

I have tried using shared parameters, but it dosen't seem to work

Please help we need to show the room volume on our services drawings so the plumber can calculate radiator sizes.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think a tag can read information back from a schedule so that won't work.

An alternate method is to put the ceiling height in the tag, using a shared parameter but you still can't multiply the two together in the room tag, it may just save some time with the scheduling.

If you can't do it in the tag can't you just print out a quick schedule for your plumber?
