You can continue populating the schedule in this way, adding any sheet names you need
or plan to have in the presentation package. Next, you will begin to create a sheet directly
from a row in the sheet list.
5. Start by selecting the New Sheet button from the Modify Schedules/Quantities tab on the
ribbon. This will give you a dialog box similar to Figure 17.23.

6. Select the type of sheet border you’d like to use from the list at the top. Choose the C size
sheet border for this exercise.

7. Select G101 - LEVEL 1 AREA PLAN from the list of placeholder sheets and click OK.
This will create a sheet from the line item in the schedule using the same name and sheet
number. The new sheet will appear under the Sheet node in the Project Browser with the correct
number and name. You will begin to add views to this sheet later in this chapter.

Using Legends

Certification As we mentioned previously in this chapter, legends are unique views because they are the only
Objective view type you can place on more than one sheet. They can become great tools for general notes,
key plans, or any other view type that you will want to have consistent across several sheets. It’s
also important to note that anything you place inside a legend view—doors, walls, windows,
and so on—will not appear or be counted in any schedules. Legend elements live outside of any
quantities present in the model.
