schedules are dynamically kept up to date when new elements are added or
when changes occur to the model.
Understanding Schedules
In a non-BIM project workflow, creating schedules of building elements,
areas, or other objects is one of the most laborious tasks for architects. When
this process is performed manually, it can take a long time and is typically
error prone. In Revit Architecture, schedules update automatically and are
inherently accurate. Every building element you model in Revit has proper-
ties. For example, doors have properties like location, type, size, and mate-
rial. All this information can be scheduled and quantified. As those doors are
changed, the properties update in the schedule automatically so everything is
always coordinated.
Because Revit Architecture is a bidirectional parametric modeling program,
you are able to make changes to properties from a schedule view, thus updating
the model. Continuing with the door example, you can change the material of
a door in the schedule view, and the Material tags and presentation views will
instantly update.
