Schedules
On this page
A schedule is a table of elements, made from the model: every door with its mark, size and swing; every wall with its type, length and area. Like other views, it is always up to date.
Making one
File › New schedule (or Create › Schedule), then Doors, Windows, Walls, Slabs, Columns and beams, Furniture, Fixtures, Rooms or Take-off (see Take-off). It opens in the 2D pane and appears under Schedules in the browser.
Furniture and fixtures
Furniture and Fixtures schedules count objects rather than list them. Each line is one type on one level: its mark (as its tags read), type, level, mounting height and IFC class, and how many there are. Lines are grouped under a heading for each category, such as Electrical, Lighting or Bathroom, with the category's count. The total is at the bottom.
- Furniture is everything IFC calls furniture: sofas, beds, tables, chairs, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets.
- Fixtures is everything else: sanitary ware, appliances, and the electrical, plumbing and HVAC fixtures.
Click a line's mark to select every object of that type. Tick Group by type to list each object on its own row under its type instead, with its level and height.
Using it
- Edit in the table: change a window's width or a wall's material right in a cell. The model, the plans and the 3D view change with it.
- Click a row's mark to select that element.
- Totals are at the bottom.
- Tick Group by type in the schedule's Properties for a heading row per type, with its count. Click a heading to select all of its rows.
- Export CSV and Export Excel in the schedule's header: CSV saves this table for a spreadsheet; Excel saves every schedule in one workbook, with numbers as numbers. See Take-off.
- The selected row is marked with a soft tone and an accent bar, on light or dark paper.
Place a schedule on a sheet like any view. See Sheets.
