Create concrete member schedule drawings

Concrete member schedule drawings include concrete beam schedules, concrete column schedules and concrete wall schedules. In beam schedule drawings, the reinforcement is listed on a span by span basis, and contractors or specialist detailing firms can use the information to produce the necessary bar bending schedules. As for concrete column schedule drawings, they display a cross section through each stack of the selected columns, and if necessary, allow you to include a reinforcement quantity table. Concrete wall schedule drawings display a cross section through each stack of the selected walls, and if necessary, also allow you to include a reinforcement quantity table

Note:

Before you create a schedule drawing, ensure that the current drawing options meet your needs by doing the following:

Create concrete beam schedule drawings

You can create beam schedule drawings by building, by floor or by selected beams. The information shown in the schedule is based on the different design groups. Beam schedule drawings are created in dxf format even though they do not include graphical information, so that you can add them to beam detail drawings.

Open a 2D scene view of a part displaying the beams that you want to include in a schedule. The part can be, for example, a construction level, frame, or sub model.
On the Draw tab, click Beam Schedule.

Note:
If the Beam Schedule command is not active, ensure that you are in a 2D scene view that is displayed in 2D.
