Welcome to tutorial 6 on building the garden banch.
What we are going to do is create a spreadsheet, all of the parts, the sizes and their lengths. It is a nice inclusion with your plans.
The model you see on screen probably doesn’t look yours but don’t worry it will! On the next video we will cover rendering.
Also , I’m not sure if I had you set up a view called “schedule. So let me go through it quickly. Go to the saved view >new and set up as I have.
When we go back up and select schedule you should have a blank title block.
Next we will open the resource browser, and select Record Format. So go to the resource browser (command r) resources,
new resources in garden seat, new record format. We will call it Parts Format.
Name, then text. Pcs. ,this will be an integer. If you want to express fractions use number.
Another new one called size this is text and one more called Length and we will make it a number and format it fractional to the 1/16th.
After setting all of that up we will go to all of our parts ,
let’s do one - select the leg and the parts format shows up in the object info palette under Data
The name is back leg, # pcs 2, size 2x6 and the length is 36”
Back support is the next one, 2 pcs, size 2x4 and length is 29”

All the pieces have been put in so now it is time to create the worksheet. Go to Tools >Reports>Create Report ,
and the report is called garden seat worksheet.
We want all objects with records, now we have to find our format, there it is Parts Format,
grab that, populate the worksheet with columns, and there we go.
The work sheet isn’t on our drawing yet so lets go to schedule sheet and then back to the resource browse and find it,
there it is and finally put work sheet on drawing. Give it a title, 18pt font.
We have an extra column, I’m not sure why, so I will go delete column, and that should do it.
We will come back at a later date and do some rendering. It will have grass, an a beautiful skyline and some light sources.
So I’ll see you on the next project.
