resullins Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I've got a schedule of displays in a project. Each of these displays HAS a property that dictates its mounting height. I need that property to appear on my schedule. However (and please keep in mind I'm NOT very good at Revit, so I may be getting some of the terminology wrong), since it's not a field, I don't know how to add a column that would have that information. Screenshots attached. I feel like this should be SO easy. Also, this is not my model, it's from an architect, so I have no idea how these things were created.

RobDraw Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 In order for a parameter to be available for scheduling it needs to be a SHARED parameter. You can find instructions online at the AKN or Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of the vibe I'm getting... but that would mean I would need to make a whole new parameter and then what, manually enter that information in each instance? For a piece of data that already exists? That just seems REALLY dumb for such a powerful program. I will also add that I have a very similar project where mounting height IS available in the schedule. Again, I don't know if they did something at the beginning of the project to make that available... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just make the new parameter equal the non-shared one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoCAD can do this for a non-shared attribute or parameter... seems like a program issue to me... <shrug> 4 minutes ago, RobDraw said: No, just make the new parameter equal the non-shared one. Ok... I didn't know I could do that. Let me give that a shot. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 If whoever made the family knew that parameter needed to be scheduled, it wouldn't be a problem. Revit cannot account for poor planning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
