Schedule types
Clicking the View List or Sheet List option takes you directly to the View
List or Sheet List Properties dialog box, where you can begin creating your
schedule. Clicking the Schedule/Quantities or Material Takeoff option takes
you first to a dialog box that allows you to select the Revit object category
that you want to schedule. The Note Block option takes you to a dialog box
where you can select the annotation family that you want to schedule.
In the New Schedule dialog box, you can define whether you are creating
a schedule of building components or a schedule key. You can also set the
project phase of the schedule view.
The
project phase
is an important property of schedules because only the
objects in the model that belong to the same
phase
as a schedule appear
in that schedule. The name that you give your schedule is what will appear
in the main header of the schedule when it is placed on a drawing. If your
drafting standards dictate that the text should be in all capital letters, you
need to retype the name even if it is correct. From the Filter List pull-down,
you can filter the object categories you can schedule. The pull-down is the
same as the one in the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog box. This allows
you to select items that are not MEP objects and may not even exist in your
model. (In Revit 2012 and all prior releases, this filter option was a check
boxcalledShowCategoriesFromAllDisciplines.)
