Changing font size, text height in Revit schedules?

[Anonymous]

in the drop down for Body Text there Are only four different font sizes...how do i make a custom size Font?

[bimscape]

Just go to the general Revit Text tool. Create a new Text Type. This will then be available inside of your schedules "Appearance" panel.

Hi, 

Trying to change the font size of the body text in a schedule in Revit 2020 however it wont change. Do you know what could be the reason?

We have don't that, however the text font does not change. It works in the other schedules, however not working for a Plumbing schedule.

@Anonymous You should be able to duplicate any current Text Type in your project

change the parameters to the desired height.

After this is done you can switch the text type in the schedule properties

Please let me know if this helps.

Yes, this is what we have done. The text works for the "Furniture Schedule" but it does not for the "Plumbing Schedule"

Hmmm....out of curiosity, are all the elements that you are trying to schedule inside your model or in a linked model? Also, would you mind sharing the properties of the Text Type you created?

I have this problem as well - but it's with all types of schedules on the sheet (4 of them).  I can select a font in the Appearance Editor that is larger and it updates  the schedule on the sheet, and when I put it back to the original one it changes... but when I select a smaller font (the one it needs to be), nothing happens?  Other text on the sheet with that font is the correct size, but the schedules won't react to the change!  What gives with this?

[Base12]

I actually just figured out why this is happening... the text in the schedule was set to be a certain size (the wrong size), and that seems to override the Appearance Editor setting.  Does anyone know how to set this back to "default size" or something so that it responds to the appearance manager?  Maybe just recreate the schedule(s)?  That's a pain.

Hi jbernier,
On the schedule, click on the heading of a column (such as A, B, C, ... etc) to highlight all the cells below. Then hit the RESET button under the Modify Schedule/Quantities ribbon. Repeat same process on other columns & title. This should reset all cells back to "default" and respond to the appearance manager.

I had this problem with font size within a keynote legend. Altering the text type in the appearance tab of the schedule had no effect but open the schedule, click the heading at the top (A or B in the case of keynotes) to highlight the column, then right mouse and there is an option to change text height. It works.
