We'll use the drag controls here to adjust the column width
00:06
so that none of the rows spread over two lines.
00:09
So we'll make the from room column wider and then also the two room
00:13
and then finally the RT
00:14
family column
00:19
now that we have those wets sorted,
00:21
we can see there's quite a compact schedule just showing the doors for level two.
00:27
So now to change its appearance, we'll go back to the door schedule view
00:33
and just to reiterate,
00:34
we can still see all of the doors in this view.
00:37
And it's only when we're looking at the sheet
00:39
that the filter applies and we can only see the floor two doors.
00:44
So now to change its appearance,
00:46
we'll go over to the properties palette here and
00:48
we'll click the edit button next to appearance.
00:52
And here we have two panels. So the first one is for the graphics,
00:55
we can see that we have controls here for grid lines and outlines.
00:58
However, we'll leave those,
00:60
we will enable these stripe rows
01:03
and then we see we have the first row stripe color and we'll click the swatch here
01:07
and we'll choose the blue color just here
01:09
and then we'll use the luminant slider to make that a much lighter blue
01:14
and then we'll click, ok, to save that color.
01:17
And we'll also select the option to show stripe rows on sheets.
01:22
Now, looking at the tax panel,
01:24
we could turn off the title and headers, but we'll leave those on.
01:29
And for the title text, we'll change this to be the quarter inch aerial type
01:33
and for the body text the 3 30 seconds aerial type.
01:37
Now we'll click. Ok.
01:39
And we can see those changes updated in the view.
01:42
So the stripes and the text for the title.
01:46
If I swap back to the street view, we can see that's also reflected in here as well.
01:51
And we want to make some more changes
01:53
to the border lines here. So I'll swap back to the door schedule view
01:58
and I'll select column a first
02:01
and then from the modified schedules and
02:02
quantities ribbon here on the appearance panel,
02:05
we'll click the font tool
02:07
and we set the size of this to be 1/8 of an inch
02:12
and we'll also select the bold option
02:15
and then we'll click. Ok.
02:17
We can see now that that column is a slightly bigger and bold font
02:22
looking at the door size, width and thickness columns.
02:25
We want to group those together.
02:27
So I'll select door size and hold the mouse button
02:29
down and drag across the width and thickness columns.
02:33
Now, from the modified schedules and quantities, ribbon
02:36
we can go to the title and headers panel and we can click group,
02:40
we can see now that that's grouped. So we'll type in the title of dimensions.
02:50
And now I drag across all of the headers here
02:54
and then we'll go back up to the appearance panel here and click on the front button
02:59
and will enable a bold option for all of the headers
03:02
and then click, ok?
03:04
And now I'll drag across all of the columns here.
03:07
So start in a column a and holding the mouse button down.
03:10
We drag across all of the columns
03:12
and that will select the entire table.
03:14
And now from the ribbon here, we'll change the aligned horizontal
03:18
to be center
03:21
and then the aligned vertical
03:23
to be middle.
03:25
We can see now that that centered all of the data in the cells.
03:28
And once we have it selected,
03:30
I'll click the borders button on the appearance panel here.
03:33
We can see in the list of line styles that we have the gray lines and blue lines here. So
03:38
I'll select the gray lines
03:39
and then from the cell options, I'll click outside
03:42
and now I'll pick the blue lines and click the inside option.
03:46
We can see that in the preview just here.
03:49
So now I'll click. OK?
03:51
And although we can't see that change in this view,
03:54
I'll swap back to the sheet view
03:56
and we can see now that we have that gray outline
03:59
with the blue lines between the cells.
04:07
So now we're ready to place that schedule onto the other sheets
04:11
and to do this, I will select it on this sheet here
04:14
and then we'll go to the modify ribbon tab
04:17
and from the clipboard panel here, we'll click, copy the clipboard.
04:22
And now we'll go to the paste, drop down
04:25
and then select align to selected views
04:28
and that we pick the floor three and floor four door schedule sheets
04:33
and then click. Ok.
04:36
And now if I open the floor three door schedule sheet,
04:39
we can see that that's been placed onto that sheet in the same location
04:43
and zooming in
04:44
it only displays the doors for a floor three as
04:47
those are the ones that are visible on this sheet.
04:50
And I'll open up the floor four sheet as well and we can see it placed there too.
04:55
And again, that's displaying the doors that are visible for floor four in this view
05:00
and going back to the door schedule,
05:02
we can see that that's still just one door schedule that we need to manage.
05:06
So now that we have that door schedule placed on those sheets
05:09
that completes format in the schedule for printing.
