Figure 7.39 Loads summary
The tools on the Modify | Panel Schedule Template contextual tab of the
ribbon are the same kind of tools that you would find in a spreadsheet
program. You can merge cells, add or delete columns and rows, set the
borders and shading of cells, and set the alignment of column data. You can
also adjust the font for a cell or group of cells. Many of these tools are also
available on a menu that appears when you right-click a cell in the schedule
view. You can adjust row and column heights and widths by clicking and
dragging the borderlines in the schedule view.
The Parameters panel of this tab has a drop-down for selecting a category
and a drop-down for selecting parameters within a chosen category to be
placed in a column. You can place unique parameters in individual cells
in any area of the schedule except for the circuit table. When you click a
cell in the circuit table and select a parameter, that parameter populates
all the cells in that column and the corresponding column on the other
side of the table. When you click a cell in the Circuit Table area, the only
category available in the drop-down is Electrical Circuits. In other areas of
theschedule, youcan chooseparameters from theElectrical Equipment and
Project Information categories.
You can set the units to be used in the circuit table with the Format Unit
button on the Parameters panel. There is also a button for creating a
calculated value in a cell. This tool works the same way as in a building
component schedule. The Combine Parameters button allows you to put
multiple parameters in a single cell. It is similar to the tool for building a
label in an annotation or tag family. You choose the parameters for a cell,
the options for a prefix or suffix, and how the parameters will be separated
if necessary.
