I don't see an option for finishes, though? I've created zones for each space I wish to list in the finish schedule (and each space for which I wish to create interior elevations, but that's another thread), but I can't find the schedule that this generates.
Zones do generate a finish schedule, no? What would I look under to get a schedule that's close to a finish schedule, that I can adapt for my purposes? Can I build a finish schedule?
(the categories of info I'm looking to show in a schedule are: room name, floor finish, n/s/e/w wall finishes, ceiling finish, ceiling height, base molding, crown molding, notes/remarks, and.... a couple other things I'm probly forgetting)
Thank you....

Probably hasn't been answered since it's a little involved (but not difficult). Surprising that there isn't a template for a finish schedule out of the box, but, oh well.
In a nutshell, you can select a zone, and "open object". This will bring up the list of parameters, which you can change, or add new parameters. (Probably text type). Then save the zone object to a new name so you don't overwrite your original. (You'll be prompted to save when you exit the object.)
Then the finish schedule is just a matter of creating a "scheme" that using the zone object as the criterion for selection. You add the parameters to the schedule in the same way that you'd add the "width" parameter to a door schedule. So, basically just like a door or window schedule, except that you're selecting zones rather than doors or windows through the element type in the "Criteria" area. You can change any of the parameter names in the scheme "fields" area, under "Scheme Settings".
Hopefully, that will get you started. It's actually pretty easy. (The second time.)
Here-- THIS may help.

Yay!
It was rather more complicated than you described, but just knowing it was possible led me to ferret out all the properties and fields and parameters that
But, now I have a rockin' finish schedule!
Thank you very very much.
