FigUre 12.9 Room schedule
7. Now add a header to the four wall finish columns so you can visually
group them. Click in the <Room Schedule> field (the brackets denote
that this text is reporting the View Name parameter value). Find the
Rows panel on the ribbon. Click Insert ➣ Below Selected. Notice that
you now have a row of headers corresponding to the columns below
(Figure 12.10).

8. Hold down the Shift key, and click the four cells that are directly
above the D, E, F, and G columns. With the four columns selected,
click the Merge Unmerge button in the Titles & Headers panel of the
ribbon. This gives you one large cell. Now type Wall Finishes into this
cell. Select the cells above A, B, and C using the Shift key to select
them all, and then click Merge Unmerge; name this header Room
Information . Merge the cells above columns H and I as well, and
name this header Area .
9. You can add data about the room elements while in the schedule view
(Figure 12.11). This is quite a bit easier than selecting the room ele-
ments individually in a floor plan and inputting data about the wall
finishes. Click into the cell for the Living Room, North Wall, and type
in Beige Paint . When you click into another cell of the same col-
umn, you can choose the previous text from the drop-down. You can
change all of the cells to Beige Paint if you like.
