Engineer drawings in Sheet list?

[Anonymous]

How do you guys put your engineer's drawings into your sheet schedule since
it is an automatic schedule? I guess I could just make a dummy sheet for
each one of their sheets so it is included in the schedule, but is there a
better way? Thanks.

I'm doing just that.

Dummy sheets are the way to go.

Interesting!!!!
I faced the similar problem while doing a 38 storey tower and an associated parking garage and a site plan.

Three different files and a common index was needed. Did a DUMB index. Maybe this should be put on a wish list!!!!!

There's a good idea for a wish list item. Myself, I cannot fathom creating
dummy sheets for all the other disciplines, on my current project that would
mean about 300 dummy sheets, with more to add at every issue point, I don't
have that much time to waste. But, currently my consultants send me either
pdfs or dwfs, and dwfs are often multi-sheets files. What could be useful
is if Revit could read those dwfs, and import the sheet #s and titles from
those dwfs into the sheet index.

why is it a waste? it takes the same amount of time to type a sheet name
and number into a dummy list as it does to type it into an actual sheet.

With the API it is possible to create sheets and views. So it would be possible to write a routine to import the information from Excel and make dummy sheets.

Don't want to look at all those extra sheets. You could do this in a separate project with nothing in it and can link it into your building project, then create a schedule including the linked file's sheets.

can you explain your process?
