If by schema you mean a diagram representing the db structure you can navigate to your db in SSMS, right click on the Database Diagrams folder and add new diagram. It may ask you to install diagram support but will do this for you. From the diagram designer you can add the tables. I usually start a new db by first adding a diagram and using it as a visual designer. If you genuinely have in the region of 20k tables, I can't guarantee that the performance will be remotely usable.
