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:

thank U in advance!

Has anyone come across a tutorial for Graphical Column Schedules?
This set of Revit tutorials is by far the most useful I have found. The content is “real life” zero BS - just the best - keep up the fantastic work.
How can I bring in schedules from a linked file? Most specifically the sheet index from my consultants like structural, MEP, fire protection and so on. This of course assumes the consultants are also using revit.
Hey Antone, if you have those drawings in a revit file then all you need to do is make sure that on your schedule setup you check the box to include elements from linked files at the bottom left.
if you don’t have revit files from consultants, then i suggest making a new revit project where you a bunch of sheets with the names of your consultants drawings. you then link this file into yours and bring these onto your drawing list. the only purpose of this separate file is to populate your drawing list so it works pretty well. you don’t even have to worry about the sheets themselves, just make sure you have the right parameters you want.
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks!
Thank you mr. Dave
i am user of revit building 9
i heve one problem i dont know about wall,floor,roof in each floor taging how its visibil in floor plan
like door or window tags

plz help me thx
Thank you Mr Dave
I am using Revit Arch 2011 and working on scheduling
I am working on creating a data schedule and I want
too see if there is a way too link schedules for instance Data Schedule and Ceiling schedule?
