Ability to change more than one selected value in a schedule

[editavinca]

Right now in schedules there is the possibility to change only one single value at a time, but very often we have the same elements which receive a new value for a parameter. It would be helpful if we could change this value for all of them at once and not need to highlight them in the model and then change the parameter value in the model.

I'd like to be able to select multiple rows in schedules i.e. as you would be able to in excel to avoid repetative entries.

I posted something similar. I mentioned multiple selections in general. In many areas of Revit mulitple selections will be useful, not only schedules.

 Sooo needed!!!

I agree @L.Maas 

Thanks for the link, I've voted your suggestion up

Thanks for your submission and votes on this idea! We are evaluating where this request falls into our roadmap and will provide an update when we have made a decision.

select multiple cells in a schedule to adjust the value

[Anonymous]

I can't get what is the benefit of this option??

[schlueter]

Imagin you need to change a value in a parameter for 64 of 100 rooms and they all need to be the same.

How would you like to do it?

Mark all Rooms in the schedule and change the parameter for all selected rooms at the same time or do you want to do it like...

press 1

press enter

press 1

press enter

press 1

press enter

......

Versus having to bidirectional link through add-ons and excel

this can be done using sort & group or select them in view then edit the parameter in property panel

It would be useful if you could select several cells and then type the new value and have them all update. The pop-up about change to type affecting many instances would need to be rationalised, e.g. only shown once.

If I select multiple cells I can go to another view and modify the element parameters there.  Why cant I select multiple cells and change their values in the schedule directly?  Seems like a big productivity enhancement.  This is a large reason some are still trying to export schedules to excel.

Hello rsawall,

Elements in Revit needs to match  their parameters with others elements if you want to change all of them. You have to create your schedule and organize your data in Sorting/Grouping section.

1_Sort by: Type 

2_Blank Line: It keeps a space between groups sorted

3_Itemize every instance: Enable the whole group sorted

4_ You would see a Schedule similar like this; In this example the parameter "Description" is part of every Column. you could modify data only once per Type element

I understand working schedules and you're right, its not hard to do. However the point is why have to format data in order to modify it? The amount of extra views directly affects model performance. I would not put this high on the priority list but seems it would be easy enough to implement.

I want the schedule to act more like excel. I would like the ability to select multiple "cells" and edit at once.

[stefan_gokstorp]

bump this post.
example from add in we use called naviate.  in other words the functionallity is aviable so make it happen in the native format as well.

[neniapoloh]

I want that too. Half the time with Revit goes to figuring out workarounds to get things done.

I would like to be able to select multiple cells in a schedule and edit them all instead of clicking individual cells and having to retype or go to the drop down. For example say that a manufacturer hasn't consistently filled out the identity data with their name. Some of the types might have the company initials, some have full name, some are blank. I'd like to be able to select multiple cells and pick one to make it consistent across the board. I know there's workarounds that you can do in the families themselves to lock the parameter so that it adjusts all the types in that family but if you're working with multiple families you have to go into each family. I guess I would just like the schedules to have a more similar functionality to excel when it comes to editing.

I've only been working in revit for just over a year so if there's actually a way to do this please comment and let me know.

While I agree this would be great, we leverage working schedules.  These are schedules that do not go on a sheet and are just for coordinating the data.  Group them however makes sense and then update the information more quickly.  They can be temporary, but we keep them around for future coordination.

That's what I do currently. I keep several different working schedules to maintain the data I need in the project. It works perfectly fine for smaller projects but when it comes to large multi-million projects I just think it could be more efficient to select multiple cells to be able to apply data too within the project instead of having to do it individually or having to open up families to make changes.
