Construction Sheet Tabulation
The “Spatial Engineer 11” tutorial on creating a tabulation for the construction sheet guides users through the process of generating detailed lists of network components directly within their project documents. This functionality is key for professionals needing to compile and present comprehensive information on construction plans. Here’s a condensed version of the steps provided in the video:
- Navigating to Tabulation:
- Start with your construction sheet open in paper space.
- Go to the work order pull-down menu.
- Navigate to “Construction Sheets” and choose “Tabulation.”
- Selecting the Clip Line:
- Follow the command prompt’s instruction to “Select polygon clip line,” referring to the boundary you established when creating the construction sheet.
- Choosing Tabulation Destination:
- When prompted for a tabulation destination, choose between adding the tabulation directly to the drawing or generating a report. For this example, select “Drawing.”
- Specifying Tabulation Scope:
- Decide if you want to limit tabulation to proposed facilities for a specific work order. Choose “No” to include all entities in the area.
- Excluding Specific Entities:
- Select any entities you wish to exclude from the tabulation, such as overlapping cables from adjacent construction sheets.
- Placing the Tabulation Table:
- After exclusions, press Enter to process.
- Choose a starting point in the white space of your sheet for the tabulation table to ensure clarity and readability.
- Finalizing the Tabulation:
- Double-click outside the drawing area to maintain scale.
- Zoom in to review the tabulated list of existing facilities and other details.
- Saving and Management Tips:
- Be aware that exiting the construction sheet view will remove the tabulation, necessitating a redo. It’s advisable to save your work as a drawing file for easy reopening and retention of text and tabulation data.
- Closing Remarks:
- The tutorial concludes with a teaser for the next video on construction sheet stamps and a reminder to save work effectively.
This tutorial streamlines the tabulation process within Spatial Engineer 11, enabling users to efficiently generate and manage detailed lists of project components directly on their construction sheets.
