Schedule Overview

1. Types of Schedules
2. Formatting Schedules
3. Schedule Tips

Revit Architecture

Revit Structure

A schedule is a tabular display of information, extracted from the properties of the elements in a project. A schedule can list every instance of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple instances onto a single row, based on the schedule's grouping criteria.

Example

You can create a schedule at any point in the design process. As you make changes to the project that affect the schedule, it automatically updates to reflect those changes. You can add a schedule to a drawing sheet. See Adding a Schedule to a Sheet.

You can export a schedule to another software program, such as a spreadsheet program.

Types of Schedules

You can create several types of schedules:

Schedules (or Quantities)
Key Schedules
Material Takeoffs
Annotation Schedules (or Note Blocks)
Revision Schedules (see Revision Schedules on Sheets)
View Lists (see View Lists)
Drawing Lists (see Sheet Lists)

Graphical Column Schedules

Formatting Schedules

You have several choices available for formatting the look of the schedule. You can

Specify the order and type of properties to display
Create totals
Create your own custom properties, which you can then include in the schedule
Apply phases to a schedule
Set conditions to apply background color to cells in the schedule in order to verify design parameters are met.

Schedule Tips

Mouse-wheel scrolling is available in schedule views. Move the mouse wheel to scroll vertically. Hold Shift and move the wheel to scroll horizontally.
You can select an element in a non-schedule view from a schedule view. This works best if you are tiling windows. (To tile windows, click View tabWindows panel Tile.) To view an element in a non-schedule view, click in the element’s cell in the schedule, and then click Modify Schedule/Quantities tabSchedule panel Highlight in Model. The Show Elements in View dialog displays. You can continue to click Show in this dialog to open other views that show the element.

osufuzzyWed Oct 3, 2012 1:10 pmOn the Appearance tab you can control the Text Height, Bold and Italic for the Headers. Our Engineers would like to have the Title show Larger than the Header text. Do we see that as an option in the future?

Often there is a time when we need a "footer" area below the schedule for additional notes (multiple lines). Is that an option?

There is no current way to add a footer to your schedule. You can share your feedback related to this issue with the product team by sending them a message through our Autodesk Product Feedback Page.

mhdoyjpnThu Nov 15, 2012 5:07 pmWhy does customizing the revision schedule by adding more fields seems like it is disabled in Revit 2013 of the Autodesk Building Design Suite 2013? I can see a dialogue box named "Revision Propeties" from View Menu--> Create Tab --> Revision Schedule on the Family editor. This dialogue box has "Edit..." and "Delete" buttons under the "Available Fields" selection but is not clickable. The "Add Parameter..." button is likewise unclickable. Also in the "Select available fields from:" selection dropdown, it is only restricted to one selection, that is "Revision" only. Is there any way to enable these features and add additional choices on the mentioned selection? I wish to add "Reviewed" and "Approved" fields in the Revision Schedule as part of our company documention process. I tried to define a shared parameter for this purpose but still to no avail. It does not come out in the selection dropdown I earlier mentioned. Any help is very much appreciated as we are defining our Revit drawing template for a new forthcoming project to start very soon.
loboarchFri Nov 16, 2012 4:57 amI am sorry for the confusion. There is not a way to modify a revision scheduile as you describe. The revision schedule is very specific and can only include the preset fields you see in the revision schedule dialog. The dialog from the component schedule tool is being re-used in this case and has some of the buttons disabled becuase it is not possible to add, edit, or delete parameters from a revision schedule. I am sorry if this was confusing.
