Adding Placeholder Sheets to a Sheet List

You can add new rows in a Sheet List to create placeholder sheets. You can leave these placeholder sheets as-is to represent consultant sheets, or you can convert them into project sheets using the New Sheet dialog.

To add placeholder sheets to a sheet list

  1. Open a sheet list schedule.

    On the Modify Schedule/Quantities tab, you can add or delete sheets, or filter unused placeholder sheets.

  2. Click Modify Schedule/Quantities tabRows panelInsert drop-down (Data Row). This adds a new row representing a placeholder sheet to the Sheet List, but note that the placeholder is not associated with the Project Browser.
  3. To add placeholder sheets to the Project Browser, you can create a new sheet from a placeholder sheet and associate it to the Project Browser.

    On the ribbon, click (New Sheet).

  4. In the New Sheet dialog, under Select placeholder sheets, select the placeholder sheets that you want to convert to actual sheets.
    Note: If desired, under Select titleblocks you can select None to create a sheet that does not include a title block.
  5. Click OK.

    The new external sheets are created and display in the Project Browser.
