There must be a better way.
We prefer (2) 3'-0" and could also use 2 @ 3'-0". I cannot come up with an elegant solution for either and am not thrilled about my current approach. Graphically, it leaves a great deal to be desired.
The clip is my current method to get the door schedule to appear the way we prefer without a lot of manual editing and insuring all the dimension and panel information is not open to user error.
I created parameters used in a "circular" formula all derived from the OOTB width parameter. The attached clip demonstrates my method. Everything works perfectly but it looks ridiculous. I am aware I can create a "Schedule Width" parameter and manually enter (2) @ 3'-0" but that really defeats the goal of avoiding double-editing and leaving room for User Error, creating yet one more step when adding a Family Type. It would seem logical that some sort of expression builder or VBA syntax might work but I cannot figure out how. Ideally, I would like one column for width that would return the Panel Width only if the Panel Quantity were 1 and would return the Panel Quantity plus the @ symbol plus the Panel Width if the quantity were more than 1. Or parentheses on either side of the Panel Quantity, a space, and the Panel Width.
Has anyone figured a way to do this? I would doubt I am the first to ask but I was unable to find something with my search syntax.
Thanks in advance,
PBR
Added comment: This also creates a problem with scheduling doors that reside in a curtain wall. I have no clue how to do this.
