Introduction: (Ribbon>View Tab>Create Panel> Schedules)
You can create a schedule at any point in the design process. As you make changes to the model that affect the schedule, it automatically updates to reflect those changes. You can add a schedule to a drawing sheet.
You can export a schedule to another software program, such as a spreadsheet program.
Create a New Schedule
Schedules are a powerful tool in Revit to dynamically calculate quantities in the model. Create a new schedule and choose a Category.
Schedule Properties – Fields
Choose fields from within that category. You can alter the order of the fields with the move up/down tabs.
Schedule Properties - Filters
The Filter tab allows you to control the visible content.
Schedule Properties – Sorting/Grouping
Sorting / Grouping determines the order. 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.
Schedule Properties - Formatting
Formatting controls alignment, headings and other visibility fields.
Schedule Properties - Appearance
Appearance allows you to control font style and size.
Use all the schedule property tabs to get the schedule looking the way you want.
