What if I don’t want this Door in my Door Schedule?

There are a number of approaches to filter a door from your door schedule.  I have included few of these below…

Schedule Properties > Filter

Without customizing anything, you can select from any of the available parameter fields to remove door[s] based on specific requirements under Schedule Properties > Filter:

Schedule Properties > Filter > Project \ Shared Parameter or Calculated Value

Alternatively you can further refine which individual doors appear in the schedule through parameters or a calculated value column:

Project or Shared Parameter Example:

Add a Manage > Project Parameters > Doors > Yes/No Parameter [in this example we will call it AppearInSchedule].  Then add the filter in the schedule view, for AppearInSchedule equals Yes.  In this example each door instance would appear in the schedule unless you un-checked the box.  Alternatively you could reverse it, as you may only need to exclude a few doors.  Make AppearInSchedule a hidden field under Formatting > Field Formatting, if needed.

Calculated Value Example:

You can use a Calculated Value column as well, should you wish to use a formula or combine several parameters.  For example, say you need more than 4 Filter by lines.  

In the below example, the default Height & Width parameters are multiplied to create an Opening Area Calculated Value Parameter; then this 1 Calculated Value Parameter is filtered in the schedule:

Width * Height
Type: Area

Place in a Group > Exclude Door from Group Instance

This approach works differently, since it also turns off the display of the door in the model, but is good to keep in mind…

When a door resides in a model group, tab-selecting the door and selecting Group Member. Click icon to exclude in this group instance will also remove the door from the schedule.  To put it back [and display the door both graphically and in the schedule] simply tab-select the ghosted door which appears when you hover over the group instance > Restore excluded group member to group instance.

Anyone have another approach they have used?  Please drop a comment below!

Another approach is to assign the unwanted door in different 'Phase' and exclude it from the schedule view properties.

Using Reporting parameters.
You can filter the cases where the wall width a door sits in is less than 2" would be an easy way to eliminate toilet partiion doors from a schedule.
