Revit Carry over custom data and make it accessible to schedules

[SKHobbs]

If custom data carried over from pipe to hangers and was accessible for schedules it would be helpful.

We use custom data fields to calculate BOP, we then place a hanger schedule on the hanger drawing with BOP associated with each hanger.

This way the hanger elevation can be set, then the insulator can let the hangers down when applying insulation.

This would be a game changer for us...Unfortunately the group who originally built our database used a lot of custom data and its now ingrained in the system. Its kinda holding me back from going full revit. So custom data in revit is necessary for us to go full steam ahead

Same issue here. Custom data is used for a variety of data reporting and even automation tasks which use it to temporarily store data about an item.  I get Revit has other ways to accomplish this but that breaks any integration w/CAD/EST/CAM.

Totally agree!  Let's get this done...should be a no brainer...
