Add New Finishes to Finish Schedule

Good afternoon,

 

I have been given a full Revit file from a client, and I need to update the finishes throughout the set. Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of experience using schedules in Revit. I assumed you could just plug in the new values and add/remove rows as necessary - like you would in AutoCAD. Boy, was I wrong.

 

Is there a way to add a new finish (rather than changing the unused finishes) to a finish schedule that has already been drawn/populated, or do I need to create a brand new schedule every time I need to make a change? Likewise, can I remove unused finishes from the schedule without overwriting them, just in case they are needed later?

 

In the schedule below, I need to remove "Bar Counter Wall", and add a new Wall Tile for the restrooms, in addition to WT-04. Let's call the new finish WT-03. I am unable to add or remove rows from the schedule editor. Only edit what is already there.

Looking at the elevation view of the new WT-03 finish (WT-4 is a wainscot of a different color, same pattern), the tag acknowledges the new finish, but it does not show up on the schedule.

Likewise, everything that needs to go in the schedule is shown in the material properties, and the new material was created by duplicating a material already in the schedule. What am I doing wrong, and why is this so difficult? :enttäuschtes_Gesicht:image.png

 

One of these days I will be better at schedules. Thank you in advance!

It is not especially difficult However Revit is a complete different product then Autocad. So it will require proper training to understand how the software works. You will need to learn the concepts of Revit before understanding how and where to make changes (i.e books, video courses or classical courses).

 

From the information you supplied it is not clear what you exactly have in the project and how/what the schedule is reding the inforamtion from.

 

Basically Schedules read values from elements in the model. So what you normally would do is add those values to the elements (e.g walls) and the schedules you will setup will display the results depending on the chosen elements, parameters and filters applied. It is very well possible that when you remove rows from a schedule that you at the same time remove elements from the project.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Do those "updated finishes" change the overall thickness of the wall?  If so, your task may be a little more involved that just changing the materials in the Wall Assembly. Also, a material change could affect wall joins and clean-ups.  But, if it's just a matter of redefining the material, perhaps editing the Material directly would be an approach you could use instead of going into each Wall Type and swapping out Layer Materials. Doing it this way would essentially "remove" the old material.  

 

...I'm going to add here what I might do. Of course, I have no idea what exactly you are tasked with. With that said, I'd probably just duplicate the "old" Materials -- and then modify the properties (identity, graphic, etc.) of "old" one (not the duplicate).   That way, schedules and wall assemblies will update automatically.
