CREATE A SCHEDULE

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Schedules are easy to create in Revit, but you need to have some idea about what it is you want in the schedule you create.

You can create schedules for:

Schedules can contain just a single category (like Plumbing Fixtures), or multiple categories (all categories that can be loaded).

They can be of just new items, or of just existing items (but not both together).

CREATE THE SCHEDULE

Under View tab select Schedules, then the type of schedule to create.

The New Schedule dialog box appears.

Hit OK when finished.

The Schedule Properties dialog box appears.

Note that all these settings can be changed after the schedule is created, so it is not necessary to do every setting now.

The first tab is Fields.

Select fields (parameter names) in the left column (Ctrl to select more than one), hit Add --> button to add to right column.

Use Move Up and Move Down buttons to arrange in the order you want.

Move on to the next field - Filter.

Here you can filter what appears in the schedule.

The example below only shows doors that have a Mark value that is not blank.

Next tab - Sorting/Grouping.

Choose what to sort by.

If you want every item (e.g. a Door schedule) make sure Itemize every instance is ticked.

If you only want types schedule (e.g. Wall Types) untick it.

Next tab - Formatting.

Select a field in left column and then change Heading, Heading Orientation, Alignment etc.

You can also hide a field by ticking Hidden Field (useful if a field is used for a calculation or heading).

Last tab - Appearance.

Settings in this tab are really only relevant if the schedule is going to be printed.

I always untick Blank row before data to keep it more compact.

Click OK and the schedule will be created.

You can find the schedule in the Project Browser under Schedules/Quantities.
