Nice video showing some of the power of schedules!

Once you start harness this power, you will become the BIM Guru of your office.

I use schedules on regular basis but I’ve never tried key schedules as I didn’t know what they they where for. Looks pretty powerful. I mainly use schedules for pile foundation plans, the ability to have them count and sort is pretty handy. About a year ago I discovered that it’s possible to embed type images in certain families which is really handy in the context of a pile schedule. The only thing I’m kind of missing is the ability to automatically set mark fields or to renumber them. I always have to do this by hand.

What an amazing video. You covered a lot of methods✅

I found it to be a very complete summary of the possibilities of schedules in Revit.
Usually I export the tables with TAB as a separator, open a new excel file and from the Data tab I use the get text/CSV data function. This allows you to create a data table directly and edit it from power query.

Excellent video! one thing i´ve found usefull is to have two schedules of the same topc, one with the final formatting and the other as the work in progress

[nasimkhosravi]

Thank you for this video; it was quite helpful.
I was wondering if you could share some of your templates with us, like the template you use for the schedules and your Architectural template.

Hello Aussie Bim guru!
Love your videos.
Are you able to create a space planning from excel room programme video for us?
You are the most comprehensive dynamoer out there, and I really wish I could follow your logic and build up of it in a video.

[LSArchirects]

Great tips in there mate. Nice to see your BimGuru template flexing its muscles as well!

[mikoajfrankiewicz]

This is good timing, i working on button that auto create some schedules and here I have nice ideas.
It is shame that grand total can't be base on size.
for pipes grand total lose point If we sum it up DN 15 and DN 100

[imtiaz]

Thank you for the helpful tutorial. Could you please create a advance level tutorial on parameters?

[borisziv]

You didn't get a prompt when opening .txt in excel since it was already converted by drag & drop method. You needed to close excel completely and then do File/Open.
But great video on schedules, I haven't used option to schedule link and certainly wouldn't guess that both models need to have same shared param.

Can't wait to steal most of this ideas :D

hi
i really love that most of your videos are more than basics level and kinda advanced level. i want to ask you about if you know a way to be able to have a schedule adding the room number parameter to it. yes i saw how you add the parameter and i did as well but my problem is what if the rooms are from a link (like for example architect link) and my schedule is for electrical fixtures or mechanical equipments that exist in my model (mep model) which dont have rooms. is there a way to schedule by room without adding the rooms to my mep model ?
(extra question xD - i tried also making schedules to system families like cable tray or ducts but the Room field of parameters dont even show. i think its somehow limit the system families from being in the room since they are not point based families to be existed as i fixture in the room where the start could be inside the room and the end could be outside. but it still would be a nice thing if we can achieve to get the schedule that would calculate the total length of cable tray only in that room. i wonder if you have any idea how to do it )

how to add parameter to floor family for calculating shuttering area in schedule and its cost? Beam bottom shuttering is having different rate per sqm than slab shuttering.

[CrossWay]

Well done! Q U E S T I O N: Do you know how to take a Graphic Scale family and have it "married" to the "View Scale" of a plan View? i'd like to have a Graphic Scale on all plan views and have the Graphic scale change to the proper graphic scale if i change the View Scale of a plan view. (ie. 1/8"=1'-0" < 3/16"='-0"). Any help would be awesome! And, i know many others would benefit from knowing how to get that done. :) LET'S SEE A VIDEO ON THAT PLEASE. :)

Hello, is it possible to add a .dyn file to the tab that my personally created in the Revit like a Bimlize program?

[mariepindstruplinde]

@9:27 don't use shortcuts! You just change the title of the row. (Which you can see happens)

Dot ask me how many schedules I've published with a shortcut in the title. (I don't know, but that's because it happens without realising)

[suganv]

Hey buddy, you really doing great job and your contents are very nice. But the problem is your speaking tone is not clear, I request you please change your mic or tone. You will get more subscribers.
Thanks!
