Hi All!
I´m looking how to elaborate some specific schedules.
I need to do two things:
1- Tag walls in a very large project.
These tags should be unique by each specifica wall an slab, in order to later generate detail drawings of each of them related to the used tag in floor plans.
2- Produce hosted elements schedules.
Once walls and slabs have been tagged, produce hosted elements schedules (such as windows, doors, voids, supports).
For each hosted element , I´d like to see in which specific wall or slab the element is hosted.
Ideally, it would also be nice to produce schedules the other way: wall and slab schedules which list per wall or slab the hosted objects.
¿Is it possible?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Matias,
What version of AECOsim Building Designer are you running?

The first item can be accomplished by using an available property for identification purposes, both on resulting schedules
and thru DataGroup annotation: https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/w/building_analysis_and_design__wiki/7624/associate-a-new-datagroup-type-with-a-datagroup-annotation-cell-for-a-drawing-rule, https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/w/building_analysis_and_design__wiki/4030/4030
The second part is a bit trickier since there's nothing explicitly linking the host and hosted elements in the form of a property. So I am curios to see if or how others have approached this topic.

Hi Steve!
Thanks a lot for your help.
If in this case, there isnt´t any property linking hosts and hosted objects... do you know how do "Spaces" work? do they have a special attribute? Seems that in that case, there is a link between hosts and hosted elements.
Thanks in advance,
Hi Matias,
Yes, to some extent Spaces are unique since they are used to define areas of a building, and so were designed to associate with other components that fall within those areas. This is why you can place Walls using an existing space, and why Walls have a "Is Space Bounding" property. It's also why you can see Space numbers against other components in DataGroup Explorer.
Maybe look at whether the linkage info between host and hosted elements are exported when an ifc is generated.
