Creating a Room Finish Legend

There can be dozens of room finishes assigned within a project file. To obtain a detailed report of all room finish data, first generate a room finish schedule as described in Creating Schedules in Vectorworks Architect. Then generate a detailed legend showing a full description of the finishes using the Create Rm Finish Legend command. This command can only be used after room finishes have been assigned to space objects.

To generate a room finish legend:

1. Select Tools > Reports > Create Rm Finish Legend.

The Create Room Finish Legend dialog box opens.

Click to show/hide the parameters.
