Property Set Data and Schedule Tables in Projects
Schedules are tables that list specific information about selected objects in
your building model. You can create different types of schedules by attaching
property set data to objects and object styles, and then extracting and
displaying the data in a schedule table.
For detailed information on property sets and schedule tables, see Schedules
and Display Themes on page 3701.
You can schedule each instance of each external reference individually. For
example, if you have an element that contains a typical door, you can reference
that door element five times into a construct. When you create a door schedule
in the construct, all five instances of the door element are scheduled
independently and can have unique data.
When you work in a non-project environment, you typically attach property
data to objects directly in the drawing. When you use the Drawing
Management feature, you work extensively with external references and often
tag objects in xrefs.
â– Attach property set data to objects in external references: You can, for
example, reference a construct into a view, and attach property sets in the
view to the objects from the referenced construct. Attaching property sets
to external references works for any nested levels, but it is recommended
that you attach data while in a view drawing.
â– Attach different property sets to individual instances of an external
reference within a host drawing: You can reference the same door multiple
times into the same host drawing and attach different property sets to each
instance of the door. That way, you can reference the same typical element
multiple times in a building and schedule each one differently.
â– Access property sets from the source element or construct drawing as well
as property sets from views or sheets: You can create a property set with
properties in the element drawing and another property set in the sheet
and schedule both in the sheet.
Example: Numbering a Door in a Project
The following example shows how you can define property data that combines
object properties with project properties. The example uses space information
to show how you could use project and formula property definitions. The
