Schedules can be created from a model to generate precise quantity takeoffs based on existing classification systems.
Introduction
Qonic allows you to generate schedules based on your models. In the current version of Qonic a schedule is always created based on the classification codes present in your models. That means to generate a schedule, you need to follow these steps:
- Create a codification library in your project, see Libraries
- Assign the relevant classification codes to the parts in your model using the Inspect panel
- Create a schedule
Creating a schedule
To define a new schedule, open a project in the dashboard and go to the Schedules tab at the top of the screen. Here you will find an overview of the current schedules in the project. Click the New button at the bottom right corner of the screen to define a new schedule. If this button is greyed out you may not have the appropriate access rights; contact the project owner to make you a project contributor.
Choose the model you want to create a schedule of. The schedule will always be created based on the last published version of that model.
Using schedules
Once a schedule has been created, it can be double-clicked to open. All of the parts in that model with a classification code assigned to them should be listed in this schedule, along with their quantity. Which quantity is calculated is defined in the classification system, see Classification Libraries. If a classification code has multiple measurement definitions assigned, you can change which quantity to show by clicking the measurement definition. You can also click the unit to change to another unit of that type.
You can at any given moment export your schedule to a .csv file.
Each time a new version of a model is created (see Model Versions), you will need to create a new schedule or update the existing schedule if you want to see these new changes. Update the schedule by clicking the Update button at the bottom-right of the schedule. If this button is greyed out, it means that this schedule is already up to date.
