Quantities and Schedules in Archicad: reliable numbers straight from your model

Your model already knows how many doors, how much wall area, and what is in every room. This eLearning course teaches you to pull that out as interactive schedules, lists, and quantities that update when the model changes. Self-paced, taught by Nordic BIM Group instructors. Assumes you know the Archicad basics.

Who it's for

One course for people who already know Archicad and want their numbers and lists to come straight from the model. It assumes you have the basics, so if you are brand new to Archicad, start with Archicad Fundamentals. Pick the situation that sounds like you.

You count and measure by hand

You tally doors and windows by hand, or step off room and floor areas, and type the totals into a document. You learn to let the model count for you, so the numbers are right and they change when the design does.

Your schedules live in a spreadsheet that drifts out of sync

You keep quantities and lists in a separate spreadsheet that was correct three revisions ago. You learn to build the schedule inside the model and round-trip it with Excel, so the model stays the single source of truth.

You need quantities and lists you can trust

You hand numbers to costing, tender, or coordination, and a wrong figure is expensive. You learn to set schedules up so they capture the right elements every time, and to use them to check the model before the numbers go out.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-team
You lead a team you want producing consistent schedules

Everyone on the team builds schedules a slightly different way, so the output never quite matches. Enrol the group, or talk to an advisor about training a whole team to set schedules up the same way, on the same property and classification structure.

What you'll learn

By the end you can build a schedule for almost anything in the model and trust the numbers it gives you. Here is the scope.

Every schedule starts by telling Archicad what to include. You learn to set Criteria that catch the right elements every time, a door schedule that finds every door, a surface list that misses nothing, and why Classifications are what make those Criteria reliable across a whole project. Get this right and the rest of the schedule looks after itself.
