Detail Item schedule

[yes_and_no]

Hi.

I have some specific detail items that we need to make a schedule for them.

I made a tag for it. The tag works.

I made a schedule of detail item category, keyed by tag (not by building element). I then made shared parameter that reports the item ID, for a start.

The tag and the the schedule field have exact same name property, yet I created 5 different schedules so far and still not working/reporting.

Where did I miss ?

Can someone do a step by step help ?

What are you trying to report and where?!

I remember ToanDT has a solution before, couldn't find it here.
Yes, I hope to use filter to screen what I want later, don't worry.

Not clear what is not working but if you only want show a certain detail family in a schedule then filter by family name.

This detail item family has adjustable lengths, of which we wd like to schedule. Hoping next step would do total length by individual group by filtering property. But the first step is not reporting yet

The only way to get a family parameter into a schedule is to use a shared parameter.

Not worried, just trying to help...are you trying to schedule the total length to go into the tag or same schedule row? Or you just need to schedule sub/grand totals per type/ID?

• if your aiming at the first you might need to calculate individual length as percentage first then use a calculate formula for the totals. This solution was first sighted in 2006 on AUGI by Leonard Raiz (one of the Revit Founders). Martijn de Riet, on revitforum.org,  published an article on his blog (2009 or 2010) elaborating more on how to use this approach in calculating a ratios of two different sub-totals

          Report Grand Total in Schedule Row

• if it is the latter, it’s straight forward…filter schedule by ID/Type and format the length to calculate totals. If both are shared parameters you shouldn’t be having issues
