Fillable Schedule

[Samuel_Mangiarelli]

How do you make a schedule in Revit where you can enter all of the information? My company has a schedule that pulls the information directly from the sprinkler head family. I want to create one where you can manually enter the make, model, and other information.

My goal is to have a head legend that does not rely upon the sprinkler family for all the information in the legend. This will be useful when there is no model of the sprinkler type, and instead of making a new sprinkler family, I can enter that information directly into the head legend or select a preset answer from a list of options.

If you want to fill ALL the information in then you really aren't using a schedule, but actually you need Key Schedule. These allow for each "parameter" to be filled in without having an element associated.

If you are just wanting to extent / add additional information to the sprinkler heads, you can add those as project parameters and either Type or Instance and then you can fill in whatever you want based on the Parameter Format / units.

Hi,

FYI: revit-schedules/#Key-Schedules

You want to manually enter everything? You'd be negating one of the biggest benefits of using Revit or using old school 2D CAD. There are various ways to accurately and efficiently schedule items in your project. Key Schedules, as mentioned, is one. Using proper families that have that info pre-determined in them is another. What's your goal?

If the parameter is "instance", you typically can enter the value in the schedule directly. "type" parameters also can be entered in the schedule, but it would make that change to the family itself and for all instances of the same "type".

The above only works if the parameter isn't locked in the family (e.g. controlled by the formula field).

It that a Legend or a Schedule?  If it's a Schedule and you asking how to get the rows to populate with information, it looks to me like the "Filter by Sheet" might be checked in the Schedule.  In other words, the Schedule only populates when Views with sprinklers are placed on the Sheet with that Schedule - and only for those sprinklers that are visible in those Views.
