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.
In the next exercise, you make revisions to the floor plan and learn how you can quickly update these
schedules, keeping your drawing information up to date across the project.
