Create Sheets

Create sheets by typing directly into a grid or pasting data from Excel. Add parameter columns, add sheet rows, review status highlights, choose a title block, then generate.

1. Load or start. Click Load Existing Sheets to bring current sheets into the grid for reference, or begin with an empty grid.

2. Add parameter columns. Click Add Parameters to open the selector and choose sheet parameters (e.g., Approved By, Checked By, Designed By). The grid adds a column per selected parameter. Right-click a header to remove a column.

3. Add sheet rows. Click Add Sheets to create empty rows, then:
   • Enter Sheet Number and Sheet Name.
   • Fill selected parameter cells (e.g., CHK 1, APP 1, DES 1).
   • Copy/paste from Excel directly into the grid to populate multiple rows at once.
   • Highlight cells and press Delete to clear contents.

4. Review status highlights. The legend indicates:
   • Sheet Number / Name missing
   • Sheet Numbers Duplicated
   • Sheet Number Exists (already in the model)
   • Sheet Created, Sheet Unchanged, Sheets Parameters Updated
5. Select title block. Choose the title block family/type (e.g., Title_Blocks_A1_Metric: Standard) used when creating sheets.
6. Generate. Check rows to process, then click Generate Sheets. Selected rows become sheets; parameters are set; existing sheets update where applicable.
