What is a Table

Table consists of a Table name, Keys (one key column) and Features (one or several feature columns). Table keeps information about features of keys in one place. It is common practice to add tables (or “schedules”) to drawings.

Table name is typically at the top of the table and describes information inside the table (Room schedule, Window schedule, etc.)

Key column typically consists of list of numbers or codes (AB, 101, EW-1, etc.). The same numbers or codes must present in the Takeoff you work with.

Feature columns typically consists of any information about Keys (physical properties, grade of material, etc.).
