Intelligent doorlegend?

[anders.hedman]

Are trying to make a door drawing by using legend an a schedule.
Is it possible to set the legend properties so that the door properties could be accessed and also the door families could be activated by clicking on the door in legend view.
Can the legend view be set so that the doors could be tagged on the drawing automatically.
No we had to tag the doors by "stone-age" manual writing just to keep the different types in mind during the work.

Currently the information in the door cannot be accessed. We're working on this. A related question - when you make a door type sheet, is it important that you see every door in use in the project? Are there legitimate cases where you want to see doors that are loaded into the project but not in use?

You only want to see doors that are in the project. A contractor would be thouroughly confused seeing a door in a legend not in the project.

Is investigation also going into why some components display with information missing as legend components as opposed to the actual view of the element?

Generally i find that the elevations show but are missing a lot of information....

Good to hear that you are working on the issue. I am looking forward to the next release.

From one thing to another, by working on detailing, I today came across a few things according to the actual form of the building which hadn´t been easy to detect by drawing the old way (pencil or 2Dcad). Thanks to the 3D model the detailing (based on Callouts) could be made with correct measures, solving real design problems in a smooth way,
Thank you for that , too

I can't believe its not known? Most windows/doors display incorrect and don't appear to be limited to just a few specific families. The only way i've typically got around it was by adding symbolic lines in the family elevations... Which just makes my families bigger and creates more fiddling around.

I'll send to support on Monday if I remember and it doesn't turn out to be another 14 hour day...
