Software : Revit Architecture 2009
Level : Beginner
Description : This Revit Architecture 2009 video tutorial covers how to create and control schedules.آ In this tutorial we schedule different wall types to manage the quantities of a buildings facade. Here is a link to the source files on the forum.
Topics Covered
-Creating a schedule
-Controlling schedules
-Sorting and grouping schedules
-Filtering schedules.

Thanks Dave for this Revit Scheduling tutorial. I guess this work-flow is one way to tackle the problem that I set up in the forum thread: diagramming and modeling. For those who haven’t read the thread, the challenge was to find an intuitive work-flow for modeling a building mass with areas for certain areas (such as public space) to be constrained. I guess we can utilize this scheduling technique with ‘floors by face’ instead of ‘wall by face’ to achieve what I want to do. Perhaps it can be combined with the technique of using tags to drive geometry shown in the last tutorial.
Great tutorial. I just wanted to add that you can use the “Number” calculated value type by canceling the area units of your Area parameter. -
Area/1sf
Great Trick I didn’t think to do that.
Thanks!
Thank you again Dave.
Do you have a trick to include named reference planes into schedules?
It would be useful for me since I have a structural frame where all the beams
are referred to the first level but at the same time they have different working planes.
I can see this property (working plane) into the Constraints Tab of the Element properties,
for the beams, but it is grey and I don’t know how to make it be read into by schedule.
It doesn’t appear into the existing parameters to be added to the schedule.
Should I build a new one as a calculated value?
I hope this is understandable, in case it’s not, I could post the file into the forum…
I did a test wit 4 walls:
Basic Wall : Generic 200mm
Interior material: Paint
Exterior material: Concrete
interior dimensions were 100 by 100cm and the wall hight was 100cm….so the PAINT material was supposed to be 4 sq. meters…..Revit gave ne 4,80 sq. m.
why?
Here is an illustration

I need some tutorial on Revit 2009 Scheduling on architecture
Please Give me some.
Ah yes, This is tricky. You have a few options. you need to be sure what side your materials are on. When you do this with walls it works ok. If you make generic models then it does not work as well. Also how your walls join makes a big difference.
Hope that helps.

Nope…the material takeoff area calculations are based on the center line of the wall…
I did a second test but the result is the same…the interior and exterior material are with the same areas….
I uploaded the “Area test.rvt” file and u can download it here:
