Introduction to Scheduling & Data ManagementExplore the power of Archicad’s Schedules, a dynamic tool for visualising and organising model elements through bi-directional tables. Learn to generate tabular outputs and perform quality assurance tests with four types of Schedules: Element Lists, Component Lists, Surface Lists, and Project Indexes. |
Data Preparation & the Scheduling ProcessDelve into effective BIM management where "Organisation is Key." Learn the importance of data organisation and purpose-based modelling to streamline your Archicad projects. This module guides you through a six-step scheduling process, from model preparation to exporting schedules, ensuring clarity and accuracy in project data management. |
Scheduling InterfaceUnlock the dual components of Archicad’s Scheduling: Scheme Settings and the Schedule Window. This module covers the intricacies of creating and managing schedules, from storing schemes and defining criteria to formatting the output in the Schedule Window. |
Quiz 1Please complete the course quiz to get the certification of coarse complition. |
Model-Based Schedules (Graphical) - Part 1This module introduces the concept of Graphical Model-based Schedules and the creation and formatting of a Door Schedule, including the graphical preview. Learn the concept of type-based modelling and its impact on Schedules. |
Model-Based Schedules (Graphical) - Part 2This module advances your scheduling skills in Archicad. It focuses on the strategic use of View Criteria to refine Schedule Views, various techniques for placing Schedules on Layouts, and leveraging Properties to enrich Schedules. Gain insights into the crucial role of a feedback loop in QA Schedules to maintain high data accuracy and integrity standards. |
Model-Based Schedules (Graphical) - Part 3In this module, you'll learn to create a Graphical Window Schedule, apply formatting, and placement on a Layout. You'll also discover how to design two tabular schedules for quality assurance: one to verify data like Classifications and Element IDs and another to rationalise types, ensuring accuracy and consistency. |
Model-Based Schedules (Tabular) - Part 1This module explores Tabular Schedules in Archicad, emphasising area measurement techniques. Learn to create area schedules using Fills and Zones while understanding the impact of 3D elements on reported areas. Organise Zones to develop Apartment Type and Inventory schedules (by room) and master the art of counting elements within Library Part parameters for accurate data management. |
Model-Based Schedules (Tabular) - Part 2In this second Tabular Schedules module, you'll refine your scheduling skills for Surfaces and Building Materials (BMats). Learn to organise Surfaces by room and apply workarounds to manage limitations, utilise Complex Profiles for BMats, and report Cut/Fill of Meshes. Create accurate volume schedules by understanding the importance of modelling precision and leveraging QA for BMats and intersections. |
Quality Assurance SchedulesIn this module on Quality Assurance Schedules, you'll explore Data Schedules, create IFC Data Schedules, and organise Indexes. Develop an Index for View Data, place Drawing Data and Layouts within a Subset, and create a Transmittal Set Index to document the history of Layout transmittals, ensuring a thorough record of project information. |
Data SchedulesIn this final module, you'll learn to create a Schedule of Properties that can be exported from Archicad, manipulated externally (e.g., in Excel), and re-imported. Additionally, master the art of building a Schedule to Quality Assure Property-defined Expressions, identifying and correcting potential errors for accurate project data. |
