Ok, see if anybody can help me here. I want to be able to asign a component of any kind (table for example) to a particular room. For example if add a table to room #2 I want that table to aoutmatically pick that room as the host, did I loose you already?

 so here is the question: can I create a parameter for the table so everytime I load that table knows in which room it belongs to?

another example: if a create a carpet layer (as a component) I want that carpet to pick up the room that it belongs to.

 thanks for the great ideas in advance.

I schedule furniture all the time and it knows what room it is in.  Is that what you mean?

If so... when selecting your fields for your furniture schedule,  change the "select available fields from" to rooms andinclude the room number in your schedule.  I filter my schedule by room.

Yes, that works, but I what I am looking for is a schedule like the multicategory schedule that shows everything (room name, furniture with the associated room, floor finish with the associated room, etc) the only problem is that the multicategory schedule do not show some of those fields and I am not sure if I can create a tag with all those fields. so far I have not been succesful.

Thanks

On the sheet, you can stack schedules side by side or on top of one another so that they appear as one schedule.... just use the same sort/filter parameters.  In side by side, you may want to hide the sort field (room number?)  in the second schedule ...or place it on the end so you have a double ended reference.

We use this same concept for window schedules where one schedule is windows and the other is curtain wall (windows).  We use the same looking tag on the plans but one is a window tag and the other is a wall tag.
