added row with notes in schedules

[HVAC-Novice]

Many older plans have schedules with a number of notes or other information in the bottom of the schedule.

How do I add such rom in Revit? It seems I only can add rows to a schedule if I add an actually schedulable item... but then I can't just enter text at will.

It seems with grouping I could create such row under the header, but that would be unusual an look weird to have notes under the header.

Hi EnergyProfessional, 

You can add rows below and above the header row. Click the header row and insert above or below. You also get all the other editing tools like merge.

Unfortunately I dont know about adding information to the bottom of the schedule.

Good Luck!

Best,

SY

Thanks for the response. Is there some other way to show that information? I like to tie certain notes or disclaimers to a schedule. For example, for a window schedule I always want to note to say "all measurements to be field-verified" or for a valve schedule I always want to say "only special valves are listed". It always would be part of my standard schedule for that type of item.

I could make that a note to each row (part of each family, like a keynote parameter), but don't want to enlarge my schedules with saying the same thing many times.

I don't want to make it a separate text that is independent of the schedule. I want it to move and size with the schedule and be tied to schedule when I transfer it to new project.

You can do it in 2017.  I don't know about other versions.

Thanks, I have 2017 and was able to insert a row below the header, like you did.

But how do I add similar row at the bottom? To me it seems more logical to show the disclaimers and notes at the bottom (and all plans I've ever seen that have schedule notes, show them on the bottom).

You could customize your Grand total to show some text. But it won't work when you need actual Grand total and count there.
I put all blanket disclaimers in General Notes or Sheet Notes.

[HVAC-Novice]

I believe you used the "Custom Grand Title" for the disclaimer? If so, I think so far I followed you.

If no one else comes up with something else, I think this is a good workaround. I still like Adesk to come up with a more direct way (and one that doesn't take the count function away)

thanks for the help.

This would be a great suggestion to post to Revit Ideas !  

This is the method to use if you want to get a feature implemented in Revit. Others can vote for your idea. The more votes an idea has, the more likely it is to make it into the next version!

I've always just typed a separate text "Schedule Notes:" (or similar) underneath the schedule.

How would I have multiple lines of notes? It seems with he described workaround I need to create a row per note, which will look goofy on a sheet. Often there are multiple notes.

You cannot just add rows to schedules except for key schedules.  You can, however, add a bunch of spaces trailing a sentence or paragraph to bring the next one down to the next row.

This is not true. Adding a bunch of spaces all it does is just makes the line horiz bigger
