I am working on a project where the municipality requires that we list mature plant heights in the schedule. Is there a way to set up a custom field for height and get it to appear in the schedule (attached example shows how I overwrote to achieve a temporary solution)?
"Height range" does not give us the flexibility that we need to respond appropriately to the municipality's comments, and it takes up too much space in the schedule to be able to fit the schedule onto our construction documents.
Ideally, we would like to be able to create custom fields ourselves on-demand and include these user-defined fields in our schedules without having to (1) edit the schedule block every time we update the plant schedule, (2) manually update the plant schedule every time my quantities change as we revise the design, or (3) contact Land F/X directly and wait on customer support to fulfill the request.
Having the ability to create custom fields we can include in our schedules will allow us to respond to municipalities' comments in a timely fashion and update plant schedules instantly.
Hi Jeremiah,
Thanks for your help! I set up a custom plant size field according to the instructions shown in your link (screenshot attached).
I should note that this Land F/X tutorial that explains how to edit that field for each plant once the field is set up. I also figured out that if "Size" is checked when setting up the schedule, the custom field will be inserted with it (see attached screenshots). If size is not checked, the custom field will not be included.
Thanks again,
Neal :)
Neal,
You can configure the plant fields exactly as your example shows:
