SST_1209 – Room Finish Schedule

Vectorworks can create a schedule of the finishes in each room for a project.  In order to do this, Vectorworks uses spaces to record the information about each room, meaning that you have to place a space in each room in order to assign the room finishes to it.

So, in order to understand how to create a room finish schedule we have to look at how to create spaces.You can create the spaces before you create the walls, and then use a command to create walls from spaces. If you have already created your building, but want to create spaces, then there are options for the space tool to make this easy. After creating the spaces, you assign room finishes to each space.
The room finishes can be edited to suit your construction. When the room finishes have been assigned, you can create a room finish schedule. The room finish schedule will use keys for each finish, so you also have to create a key legend explaining exactly what each finish is. Because the room finish schedule is a worksheet that can easily be updated if you change the room finish information on the spaces. The room finish key legend is not linked to the changes, so this will have to be edited manually. If you have Vectorworks architect or designer, then you can create a room finish schedule. The other versions of Vectorworks do not.
