Door Hardware Schedule

Door Hardware Schedule

This is more of a general question. I know there's a process to make a door schedule. I am now making a schedule for hardware sets and I'm trying to find the best way to organize the information. Is there a way to create a hardware schedule in the same way you create a door schedule or have you been using text to note the components of each hardware set?

There is no actual "hardware" object, so there would not be a schedule
category devoted to this. You can simply add a door schedule that lists the
desired hardware fields. This could be a separate door schedule sorted and
grouped by hardware, or you can add the fields to your normal door schedule.
Any fields that are not included out-of-the-box, you can add using shared
parameters. To create hardware "sets" create a "KEY" schedule. On the first
screen when creating the schedule, choose Doors for category and then choose
Schedule Keys. Name it some thing appropriate like "Hardware Set." When you
click OK, you will be presented with the fields that can be included in your
key schedule. There are only a few in the out-of-the-box offering, so again,
consider custom shared parameters (or project parameters) if necessary.

One you have the schedule use the New button on the Options Bar to add rows
to the schedule. Fill in the data. In this case, you will create a new row
for each unique hardware set giving it a unique designation in the key name
column. Then return to your door schedule (if desired) and add the fields
there. The Hardware Set field is your key field. Choose one of your keys
from the pop-up menu and the others fill in automatically. Very cool.

I have attached some images. Enjoy.

I know this is a very old post and I am sorry for responding to it but I was wondering if someone could explain how Paul got his schedule to appear the way it did in his one attachment?  Teh headings have different heght column cells where the column heading is and there seems to be main headings and then sub headings such as in door and frame type areas.  Kind of like you would do easily when using excel.

 

Thanks!

In a schedule if you select two or more adjacent columns you can group them. Above this group you can then type an header

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Thank you for your reply.  I had found this out through another post that was dealing with a whole separate issue in schedules but I apprecaite your added graphic.  Have a good day!

 

On an added note, it is suprising, maybe not, that a new user like myself finds a solution for door schedules here that does not seem to have changed much from 7 years ago.  I would have thought at least some improvements could be made such as being able to select multiple cells and add the same information.  Ths is still better than doing it in Autocad but manually filling in each reptitive cell gets to be a bit much.  The Schedule Keys help but no matter how well you set these up, at some point you are still filling in redundant information.  Apparantly this has been a wishlist item for some time but is probably not quite the priority that some other things have been on that list.  Still, I do think these schedules offer some nice advantages over previously doing them in Autocad.

To enter info into a schedule all at once rather than line by line, select all instances in the model that will have the same entry, then enter it in the properties list rater than in the schedule view.

 

Cheers!
