What im trying to do is insert wind bracing items into my model.. (this is the easy part.. library item… done)
But from these items I want to be able to run a schedule that looks something along lines of listing the item name, ID, then also a preset value… so in the schedule it can add list the items name, its ID (easy parts) but then also add its value to the schedule and then give a total at the bottom
Basically want to use a schedule for these so that if they get modified the table will always be current.. most people have just told me to manually draw a table and add the values.. but leave room for error with plan revisions (if any)
OR, if anyone has a better way of doing a bracing plan and tables, do tell
Cheers

will be very soon. just gotta finish something else off before i do it
ok i think im lost again.
i followed all them steps.. was easy enough.
but now how do i get teh schedual to show my bracing objects??
currently thres 3 of them in my modle (2 of the 1800 and 1 of the 900)
these are the setings for my schedule. but the objects arnt showing up in the schedule?
am i doing the criteria section right??? by adding each of them in.. eventually once i work it out there will be a ply for every 100mm increment up to 3000? or am i meant to be doing it differntly?
i can get it to work if i have only one item under the "library part name starts with" section.. but that only allows me to have one of them in the schedule.. as above im going to want to have about 30 of them saved and able to be listed

im guessing i have to have one library item and adjust its length and bracing value manually for each one i insert to get them in the same column in the schedule??
id preffer to have 30 odd objects all differnt legths and values all ready set so i can just plonk them in with out messing with its values manual?? can i do that and have them in the same column on the schedule?
