Practice Exercise: Create schedules

00:00

this is a practice exercise solution for create a schedule.

00:06

In this exercise we need to create and format a wall schedule

00:13

to begin.

00:14

I'll scroll down in the project browser

00:17

to the schedules quantities branch

00:20

and then right click that branch and select new schedule quantities

00:26

in the new schedule dialog. I'll select the walls category

00:31

and leave it set to schedule, building components and then click OK

00:38

for this schedule we need to add the family field

00:46

and then

00:48

type mark and the type.

00:52

We can simply double click those two adam

00:55

to our list of scheduled fields

00:58

and then we need the function

01:03

length

01:05

and width

01:09

and if needed, you can always move those up and down if you add them in the wrong order.

01:16

Next on the sorting grouping tab will choose to sort by the function

01:24

and then by the type

01:27

And for each one of those will add a footer

01:30

so that it groups by each of those parameters.

01:34

And then we can also add a blank line

01:38

and then on the formatting tab will make the family field a hidden field.

01:45

And then for the type mark function,

01:49

length and width will change the alignment to center

01:57

and also for the length. We will set that to calculate totals

02:07

and then we'll switch to the appearance tab

02:11

and we will leave everything at the default values except for the text and

02:18

the title text will set to a quarter quarter inch aerial the header text,

02:30

And then we'll click OK

02:32

to create the schedule.

02:35

And now we can expand

02:38

the type field

02:40

and expand that column so it's a little bit bigger and then adjust the other ones

02:46

as needed.

02:51

And now we can see that the schedule is grouped by the type.

02:59

And as we scroll down, we can also see that it is grouped by

03:04

the function.

03:08

And

03:09

for length we are calculating the totals.
