Do you have a video that explains how you set up the bones of this material schedule?

This helped me a lot, commenting for exposure. Thank you!

Nice to see the scheduling method I created for my office practically matches yours!
One "workaround" I use for the system families that the schedule won't _see_ in the project (mullions, railings, etc) is to make a Design Option Set "Materials" with options "Hide (default)" and "Show". Then I have a generic model family that is just a cube with instance material parameter. Place as many as you need in the "Show" option (I recommend grouped somewhere outside the building so they're easy to find in 3D) then when you select your schedule in the project browser, you'll see a "Visibility/Graphics Overrides" property where you can change Design Option from Automatic to Show.
I also find this useful for setting up materials before everything is modelled for interior designers to start filling information, and creating materials for items that I'm not going to model (sometimes weird items from an interior designer DWG underlay that I'm not going to model or things that I don't want to necessarily model such as window coverings...)

Hi. Does this finish schedule only work if the materials are in use in the model? Hope this question makes sense. (For example, I did not model a base, but in Manage > Materials, I created a material for base, would that base material show up in the finish schedule?)

I watched your project parameters video but it didn't cover the material perameters. Do I have select all of the categories ie... doors, walls, ceilings, casework, etc... ?

where did you get the material fields from? there are none in the list when I start a new schedule? thanks.

Spoken like an architect...."change the phase of the subscribe button to existing" :D

Thanks so much for making this video! I created my schedule based on your instruction however my schedule is picking up every time a specific material is used when I enter it into a wall structure. Any Idea on how I can apply my material to everything and have it only populate onto my schedule once like how you've shown. Maybe I missed something. Any help is appreciated

This is what I call a legend. A schedule says where things go. A legend says what things are. How do you add label on plan?

Great Video... The Mark has value filter is totally clutch it was the answer I did not know I was looking for! One answer I am looking for is If you have three Kitchen Families of Families could you make it change details on a details sheet to match the appropriate kitchen family? We have very specific details that match different kitchen design it would be nice to make the details change themselves out when you change the kitchen family.

I thought you meant a room finish schedule, like that showed walls, ceiling, floor etc, but this is good too. I have not had the need to make this kind of schedule, but seems like a solid workflow.

You need to say that you are going by central time zone because I missed the live video every time.
