In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll walk through everything you need to prepare a clear and accurate door and window schedule for your architectural drawing set. You’ll learn how to set up your floor plan view, tag doors and windows with CAD blocks from the Rayon library, and create custom blocks that cut openings in wall enclosures. We’ll cover how to build smart schedules with metadata properties, use Rayon's table tool to count and aggregate data, and integrate your schedules directly into your permit-ready drawing set. By the end, you’ll have a streamlined workflow for producing professional, code-compliant schedules faster and more efficiently.
