I see how to add custom columns to the plant schedule, but is there a way to do it without changing the entire preference set? Or to turn off certain existing columns? I want to replace container size with a custom category but I don't see how to turn off container size and turn on my new column. I could delete it, but then it would disappear for all the other projects? Do I have to paste landfx generated data into a separate excel file and use that for a homemade schedule?
Meredith,
Plant schedules with only display columns that are used.
In each plant size field, there's a blank entry. If you set all the plants in this plant to the blank entry, that column will not appear on the schedule.
So, in your plant preferences, you can have columns for both scenarios, and only set values to the columns that you wish to appear.
At this time, there isn't a way to selectively exclude certain fields from the schedule if you don't want it to appear.
There are other workarounds, though.
1. Maintain 2 preference sets, with different plant size values. This is typically only helpful if both preference sets would be frequently used, like in the case where you do a lot of work in 2 counties and they have very different requirements for submitted drawings.
2. Have the column you don't want appear, but splice it out by placing the schedule in model space and viewing it through 2 or more viewports.

Yes, the Field 1 plant size is required. It can't be blank.
So your options are to maintain a separate preference set, or you could add the needed field to the end, and splice it into field 1's spot with multiple viewports.
Same concept as creating multiple columns for a schedule.
My Schedule is Too Long. How Can I Break It Up?
You can also add a dash entry to the Field 1 sizes. Like this: "---".
All of this should be done in consultation with your office's Land F/X standards manager (usually your office CAD manager).
To give much more advice, I'd need to see exactly what you're trying to do, either here or in a technical support ticket. It might be something even simpler, already in the program.
