Creating a room data schedule with components

00:04

A room data schedule can help with the planning and fit out of a building

00:09

rather than just list all of the components within the entire building.

00:12

A room data schedule will group them by the room that they are placed in.

00:17

And this will help the contractor plan

00:18

and check that everything is in the correct place.

00:23

And we're looking at the floor four plan view and here we can see that

00:26

there's quite a lot of furniture located

00:29

throughout the different rooms on this plan.

00:31

And this is also repeated on the other levels within the building.

00:36

First to help us locate the furniture, we'll create a furniture schedule.

00:41

So we'll go to the view ribbon tab

00:44

and from the create panel, we'll click the schedules drop down

00:47

and then we'll select schedules and quantities.

00:51

So we'll search for the category of furniture at the top here

00:55

and then from the filtered list of categories here, we can see we've got furniture.

00:59

So

00:60

we'll select this and then click ok to go to the schedule properties.

01:06

Now, from the list of available fields,

01:09

I'll first choose the family field

01:11

and then we'll click the add the schedule button.

01:13

Here to send it across to the scheduled fields, column.

01:18

Next, we'll add the type parameter and add that to the scheduled fields too.

01:23

Now, looking above here, we'll change the select available fields from

01:29

and we'll change it from furniture to room.

01:32

Now,

01:32

the available fields that we can see will relate

01:35

to the room that the furniture is located in.

01:38

So we'll choose the room name and add this to the scheduled fields.

01:42

Then we'll get the room number

01:45

and then also the room level

01:48

are now swapped to eat salty and group in tab.

01:52

And first, I'll sort by family

01:55

and then by type

01:58

and under the family here,

01:59

I'll check to create a header and group the schedule by family.

02:03

And we'll also check for a blank line between the groups.

02:06

So I'll click, ok.

02:09

And we can see that schedule has been created

02:12

and we have each individual item of furniture listed out.

02:16

However,

02:16

we can see that it's grouped by the family name

02:18

as we wanted it to be with the header here

02:22

and then organized by the type

02:25

and we have the room name number and also the level of that room listed here too.

02:30

If I select on one of the rows of the schedule here,

02:33

we can go to the modified schedules and quantities, ribbon tab

02:37

and from the element panel here, we'll click highlighting model,

02:41

we can see that that will take us to a view of

02:43

the model where we can see the item that we have got selected

02:47

and we have an option here that will allow us to

02:50

search through multiple views if it's not immediately clear in this view. So

02:54

I'll click close because we can see it in the background.

02:56

And we can see that we have that piece of furniture selected

02:59

and zooming out. We can see where it's located within the plan.

03:04

So I'll swap back to the furniture schedule

03:09

and I'll pick a different row this time.

03:11

And again, we'll click highlight in model from the ribbon tab.

03:15

Once again,

03:16

it swaps back to the plan view zoomed into that particular piece of furniture.

03:21

We'll click close again on this message.

03:23

We can see we have that chair selected with its properties here

03:27

and as we zoom out, we can see whereabouts it's located within the floor plan.
