Tutorial: Archi Assistant Wall Schedule

Archibites Wall Schedule is soon to become part of the NEW Archi Assistant Add-on. The NEW Wall Schedule automates the generation of graphical wall schedules of all walls that are used in the project to your own graphical standards.

Quick Steps:

1. Set Template

Draw a template for one wall type on a unused story. Each template must include a short wall and the Archibites Wall Schedule Template label that defines the boundaries of the template. Add all your own custom lines, fills, labels, etc as you see fit.

Select the template then open Archi Assitants Wall Schedule add and click on ‘New Template from Selection’

2. Set Criteria

Set the criteria for the walls you want included in the schedule by story, layers and composite/id.

3. Get Properties

From this list add the properties you want to included in the generated schedule. Ideally only include what the template shows in text labels.

4. Set Page size

Set the page size, scale and direction of rows. The Schedule will automatically be distributed page by page for easy placement on layouts.

5. Create

Click on ‘Create/Update’ button.
