box and add the following parameters: Door Material, Frame Finish, Hardware. Note that Door
Material and Frame Finish should be grouped under Materials and Finishes. Hardware should

sorted as below. Note that “From Room: Name” and “From Room: Number” are there, but are
not visible in the screenshot below.

8. Click OK and now you’ve got a door schedule.

9. Go to the door schedule view and modify it to look like the door schedule on page one of this
handout. The first step is to make all fields capital letters. Rename From Room: Name to
ROOM. Rename Mark to NUMBER. Rename Type Mark to TYPE. Rename Thickness to THK.
Rename Material to MATL, etc.

10. The next step is to Group elements so we can create a header. Highlight the columns you want
to group and click the Group button. Now you can add a header.

11. Layout the schedule so it looks like page 1 in terms of format. You may have more or less
doors.
