Create stone cladding (open joint) cut list

[troyliVZ9YM]

hi everyone,

i am working on a project for internal stone cladding and paving.

The aim is to build a revit model (in version 2021) and generate the stone panel cut list as a schedule for fabrication. 

Here are the typical configurations:

Horizontal 1200mm c/c center line with 2mm panel gap. 

Vertical 600mm c/c center line with 2mm panel gap.

i tried 2 different ways to do it.

1) i use curtainwall function to create the setting out by 1200x600 and load a customized 1200x600 curtain panel family with 1mm offset from each sides. However, revit will consider the family size as 1200x600 and when i get to the curtain panel schedule, the outcome width and height will be 1200 x 600 instead of 1198 x 598.

2) i draw the setting out on the elevation by using reference plan and then load a customized stone cladding panel family (1198W x 598H). However,  Revit seems cannot sort the family by width and height and just simply give out the number of each family type by generic model schedule.

What i want is to generate the actual stone cut list ( exclude the 2mm panel gap) as 1198 x 598 directly from the model.

Hope you guys can share the best way to do it.

There are twonways:
1. Add calculated value parameters to the schedule to subtract the width and height of the panels by 2 mm.
2. Use 2mm wide curtain mullions.
