The Bottom Line
Use the tools in Revit MEP 2015 for defining schedules and
their behavior
The capabilities of schedules in Revit MEP 2015 can
increase your project coordination and the efficiency of your workflow.
The ability to track items within a model can help you better understand
the makeup of your design.
Master It
The information in schedules comes from information
stored within the objects of a Revit model. Explain why editing the
data of an object in a schedule changes the properties of the object.
Schedule building components
Scheduling building components is
the primary use of the scheduling tools in Revit. Schedules are used on
construction documents to provide additional information about
components so that drawings do not become too cluttered.
Master It
Understanding what information can be used in a
schedule is important to setting up a specific component schedule
within your Revit project. What types of parameters can be included
in a schedule? What types cannot?
Create schedules for design and analysis
Scheduling can go
beyond counting objects and tracking their information. You can also
create schedules that assist in making design decisions by providing
organized analytical information.
Master It
The information stored in Space objects often comes
from their relationship with other objects. Some of the data for
analysis needs to be input manually. Explain how using a schedule
key can assist in adding data to a Space object.
Schedule views and sheets for project management
You can
schedule not just the components that make up a model but also the
views and sheets within your project. Specialized schedules for views
and sheets are useful for project management.
Master It
A Note Block schedule enables you to list information
about annotation families within your project. What are some of the
benefits of using a Note Block schedule instead of static text for plan
notes?
