Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to combine two different categories for a schedule in Revit.
One is an assembly and the other is mechanical equipment that the objects belong two.
If I create a complete schedule with everything, I was thinking that I could then filter by category. But when filtering in the options I do not have an assembly.
The reason I am doing this is that I have an item which is priced in a package containing two together. Hence, I am making them as an assembly and then adding a cost per package.
I am not sure if this is the correct way to go about it. Or I could just adjust the price in the family properties to half and make everything simpler.
Are you referring to Revit Assemblies or the concept of assemblies apart from the software? Revit assemblies are comprised of Revit elements, they are an abstracted collection of other things. As such they are things themselves, except how we think of them. Either Filter excludes them as a valid category for that reason or it is an oversight on the part of the developers. Usually there is an underlying reason (that isn't obvious to us) for things that are excluded. Sometimes it just an arbitrary, "We didn't think people would combine them with other things".
Assemblies have their own process, you might look at that more closely as it can create its own bill of materials (schedule) for the elements that is made up of. The mechanical equipment you use in an assembly ought to appear in a schedule of mechanical equipment too though, maybe that's enough?
