How do I add the elevation number to a casework schedule

Anonymous — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 12:54:06 GMT

I am a revit novice and looking at implementing Revit for our company doing casework drawings.

I have been able to create a simple revit model, insert casework, and create a schedule of the parameters included in each casework family. I have also assigned a room and had that come into the schedule as well (I love this!).

I am trying to figure out how to have each piece of casework show which elevation it is on. Is this possible in Revit?

For example - the cabinet highlighted below is blue is shown on elevation 1. I would like our schedule to include this "elevation 1" information, even just as a number in a column labeled "elevation.

Add a project text parameter to case work and type it in manually...

Alternatively you can use dynamo to list views that cw is in filter out plans and set the name of the remaining views to a predefined text parameter in the family

So to recap: you want to create a Schedule that reports all the Elevation Views that the model component is show in -- something like "Find Referring Views"?

Ahh... yes! That sounds like exactly what I am looking for.

I.E. if view #1 has the cabinet, list "1" on the schedule in the corresponding column.

Is it possible to add "find referring view" onto a schedule? I don't see that listed under any of the available fields.

That's going to have to be a manual input since Model Geometry is, by definition, visible in all Model Views.

Find referring view is only applicable from view to view, not from view to element or vice versa. In Revit, elements are usually associated with rooms or spaces, not views or sheets, so that you can add room or space information to the schedule to locate elements.

What you want to do is a CAD practice so if you insist on using it you would need to do it manually:

- add a text parameter, e.g. [ELEV ID] to the casework schedule

- open each elevation view, select all casework visible in the view and type in the elevation no/sheet number in the ELEV ID field in properties
