Schedules

Seven schedules, all in the SCHEDULES section of the Project palette and all built from the data already on the elements. Nothing is typed twice. The number next to each row is how many elements that schedule would list.

Schedule One row is
Room schedule a zone
Window & door schedule a type, or a single opening
Wall schedule a composition, or a single wall
Slab schedule a composition, or a single slab
Roof plane schedule a composition and slope, or a single roof plane
Skylight schedule a type, or a single skylight
MEP schedule a size within a system

Every zone, grouped by storey, sorted by number.

Columns choose which to show — identification, geometry, finishes
Scope whole model or active storey
Subtotals per storey

The preview updates live, and your column choice is remembered between sessions.

Available columns include number, name, long name, area, perimeter, height, volume, and the four finishes — floor, wall and ceiling covering, and skirting. A finishes schedule is therefore a by-product of having drawn rooms.

Room schedule

The window and door schedule and the four construction schedules share one switch, List by:

Types one row per type with a piece count — the table that goes into the drawings
Pieces one row per element, grouped by storey — a checklist for the model

Scope works as in the room schedule — the whole model, or only the active storey. In Types with the active storey, the counts are for that storey.

Columns are chosen per schedule in three groups — identification, geometry and technical — and the choice is remembered.

Windows, doors and plain openings in three sections, because a passage with no fill is not a window.

A type is its markW2, D3, set in the opening dialog. An opening without a mark is grouped by kind, width, height, sill and fill instead, so the schedule already reads sensibly in a model where nobody has handed out marks yet. The Storey column of a type lists every storey it occurs on.

Identification mark, type, name, storey, wall, description
Geometry width, height, sill, area, pieces, shape
Technical leaf, swing, hinge, frame, material, Uw, Rw, fire rating, fire exit, status

By default you get mark, type, storey, width, height, sill, pieces, leaf, material and Uw. Only pieces and area are totalled — a sum of widths or of U-values means nothing. For multi-leaf, sliding and lift & slide fills, Leaf spells out the leaves.

Wall, slab, roof plane and skylight schedules

Section titled “Wall, slab, roof plane and skylight schedules”

One dialog for all four; the tabs at the top switch between them.

Schedule A type is Geometry columns
Walls composition thickness, height, length, gross and net area, volume
Slabs composition thickness, gross and net area, perimeter, volume
Roof planes composition and slope slope, orientation, area, plan area, thickness
Skylights type width, height, area, reveal, Uw

The roof schedule lists planes, not roofs — a gable roof has two, a hip roof four — because covering is ordered per plane, and slope and orientation belong to the plane. Area is the real sloped area, plan area its projection.

On a type row the numbers are added up and the text is kept only where every piece agrees. A type row never claims something that is true for just the first wall in it. That makes the Types view of the wall and slab schedules a direct take-off per build-up: so many square metres and cubic metres of each composition.

Technical columns come from the property sets: material, load bearing, external, U-value, fire and acoustic rating, status.

It aggregates. One row per size per system, subtotals per system — not one row per segment, which in a real building would run to hundreds of lines nobody reads.

Column What it is
System drainage, heating flow, …
Size DN 110, 400×250, …
Length real pipe length
Surface for insulation take-off

Length is the real pipe, with the parts occupied by fittings deducted. Using the raw axis would overlap with every bend and overstate the total.

Fittings are counted separately, by type, size and angle — an 87.5° bend is a different line item from a 45° one, because it is a different product. Nothing is counted twice.

Surface area is the catalogue perimeter times the length, which is what an insulation quote is priced from.

Every schedule writes CSV in the international format: comma separator, decimal point, UTF-8 with a byte-order mark so Excel opens it without a dialog.

The room schedule offers a second option: one file per storey. That is for LayOut, where each sheet wants only its own floor’s table.
