Creating Schedules
In this exercise, you schedule the doors and windows on the first floor of the building. Schedules and other annotation
are typically placed in view drawings within the project, so you must create a view that externally references the 01
Floor construct before you can create the schedules.
After you create the view, you tag the doors and windows in the view. The tags let you extract property set data from
the doors and windows. This data is reported in door and window schedules, which you create after you place the tags.
