Step-by-Step Guide
Open the Week table:
Open the BIM view and the week table. The week table will appear on the right next to your model. You can change the position of the sections (e.g. display it on the left) by clicking Views > Layout edit in the top right and rearranging the areas using drag-and-drop.
Select Building Components and Check Status:
Select a building component in the model (e.g. a masonry wall).
To check whether the building component is already scheduled, activate Object Status:
Transparent = not yet scheduled
Dark blue = already scheduled
Click on a building component to select it. To select and plan multiple building components, hold down the Shift key and click the ones you want.
Assign Tasks in the Week table:
There are two ways to plan tasks:
Option A – Drag-and-Drop

Planin the week table to display tasks for the selected building component.
Drag tasks (e.g. formwork, reinforcement, concrete work) to the desired days in the week table.
Option B – Date Selection
Click on the word
Planbelow a task.Select the date or time range from the calendar.
One click = single-day task
Two clicks (start and end) = multi-day task
Change Task Status
By default, a newly scheduled task is marked as Planned.
Click the status to change it step by step:
Planned → Started → Completed → Delayed (with reason)
The model will automatically update colors based on the status.
Customize Displayed Information
Click the gear icon (settings) in the top right of the week table.
Choose which information to display (e.g. man-hours, quantity, grid position).
Use the arrow icons to reorder the information fields.

To select multiple tasks, hold down the
Ctrlkey or use the checkbox in the far-right column.To select consecutive tasks (e.g. Monday to Wednesday), hold the
Shiftkey.To repeat tasks in the same order (e.g. for the following week), select
Copy, thenPaste them in sequence.To reschedule tasks, use
Cut– this moves them when pasting elsewhere.You can also edit task
statusandlabelsvia the Action menu.
Use the arrow icons to change the order of displayed information.
3. Grouping Tasks and Building Components in the Week table
The grouping logic helps define the level of detail in your week table and simplifies task management.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Adjusting the Grouping Logic in the week table
Click the gear icon in the top right of the week table.
Choose your preferred grouping logic viaGroup by.
After selecting the desired logic, the building components listed in the left column of the week table will adjust accordingly.
Example:If only “Object type” is selected, the item “Wall” appears in the left-hand column.
If you select “Effort type”, the work steps that belong to the wall object type, such as formwork, formwork stripping, reinforcement or concrete, are listed separately one below the other.
This allows you to control the level of detail for your week table.To undo your selection, simply go back to
Group byand make a new choice.
