Description : This Revit Architecture 2009 video tutorial covers how to create and control schedules. 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.

Description : This Revit Architecture 2009 video tutorial covers how to use conditional statement when scheduling curtain panels. The techniques put forward in this video are done in an effort to avoid making different families for one curtain system. By using techniques like these, one can manage variable parts within one Revit Family while making it easier ti manage a schedule. This video is part of a series I am working on, in which i hope to show ways Revit can be used for quantity take off (going back to my days as an estimator, this is so much easier). Here is a link to the source files on the forum
Topics Covered
-Scheduling shared parameters
-Calculated Values in Schedules
-Scheduling with conditional statements
-Using Parameters to Identify Family Type

Description : This Revit 2009 video tutorial covers how to add parameters for scheduling and tagging. In this case the objects being scheduled are parking spaces. The problem was that by default Revit is able to schedule the “count” of objects. In this case i wanted to schedule stacker parking which meant every parking component equaled 2 spaces. In order to schedule the number of spaces, a shared parameter is added which looks for a yes/no parameter stating whether or not the component is a stacker. This is done by adding a conditional statement which looks to see if the family is a stacker based on the yes/no check box. The techniques in this example can be easily transfered to any family type with in Revit. This same logic can apply to estimating Techniques, i hope to cover quantity extraction a bit more in the weeks to come.

Description : This video tutorial gets into the basics of creating shared parameters in Revit and how to create schedules to access them. In this tutorial scheduling is meant to be used more as a spreadsheet interface for driving the model and not so much for putting schedules in a drawings set. That being said this video covers the basics of making a schedule which one could easily then place on a sheet.
This is a techniques I have been using quite a bit to control multiple objects that need to have the same instance parameter. I use the instance parameters as sub-type parameters and by grouping in the schedule I am able to quickly change the same parameter on many objects at once. I have seen these types of schedules referred to as working schedules
