Can anyone tell me why the electrical symbols aren't displaying correctly in the schedule? Kinda useless if they don't display.

Maybe edit "schedule properties"   and include "count".   I'm just guessing.

Maybe the symbol library not correct or something.        Does it show a symbol when you draw on floor plan.

The + under symbol??          Never had that problem.

If your Softplan +, send them a ticket, they'll respond fast

Thanks for the reply. I have tried multiple things to try and get the symbols to show. Its interesting that you have never had any problem. Do you add the schedule on the floor "drawing" or directly on the sheet?

 

Thanks

It may be looking for them in the wrong folder. Have you recently upgraded or changed the names of folders, or anything of that matter?

I haven't. I have upgraded a couple times recently. Just sofplan patches.... Haven't changed any folder names.

 

I added the legend on the drawing tab beside the electrical plan and it shows fine. Is that the best way to add it? I added it on the sheet. Ima gonna check another drawing as that may help me get clarity on the best way to do this.

 

Thanks

I add mine to the electrical drawing usually, and have added it to the planset some. I don't think that is your problem. It picking the description up.

I guess I would ask if the symbols show on the electrical page correctly.

 

I think this is a question for super techs at Softplan. They have always helped me when i call them.   519-886-9750 or support@softplantech.com

Yes it needs to be in the drawing, not on the plan set page. 

 

However, If you have multiple plans on 1 plan set page, and you put the legend on the plan set page, it SHOULD pick up all symbols and counts from all of the drawings on that page.
