chedules are tables you can insert in drawings to list information about selected objects in your building model. Objects are made up of properties that contain data. Schedule tags provide an efficient tool for collecting the property data attached to the objects for display in a schedule table. You can create schedules with varying levels of detail by defining and attaching sets of properties to object styles or to individual objects and then extracting and displaying the data in a schedule table. You can produce basic schedule tables using the default tools provided with the software.

OVERVIEW Before delving into schedule tables, it is important to understand some of the terminology associated with them. Here’s a little overview of some important terms that apply to creating and managing schedule tables. • Schedule Tags – You can use project-based or standard schedule tags in your drawings to graphically display the property data of an object. By linking the schedule tag to a property in a property set, you report property data of the object. When you anchor the tag to an object to which the property set is applied, the value of the property displays in the tag. The information in the tag is updated if the object or if the property changes. March 2014
