how to show the pattern and color for the floor, wall & ceiling in the schedule

[Anonymous]

How to let the graphics (like the floor pattern and the colour given) for the floor type or the wall type or the ceiling type appear when we are extracting a schedule in Revit,

we was trying to find a solution but we could not,

appreciate for the help,

Pattern and color are not parameters schedulable parameter...if you want them in the schedule,

Option 1:

Being able to set patterns to elements using Dynamo it should be possible to  extract Pattern  and set that to a shared parameter which you can schedule (not sure about the color though, will have to check)

Option 2

1. capture screen images of those patterns/colors
2. defined project parameter / <image> type for floors/walls/roofs/ceilings.
3.  assign each wall type with an image and add that parameter to schedule

I thought of some ways to schedule some things like this. You are able to add a project instance parameter under materials which you edit within your material settings. You can manually match the pattern description for your materials applied and schedule that.

Another similar method I could think of would be to schedule ie. a sort of (unique) Material marker parameter the same way as above in the project. Then use a calculated parameter to check the (number) value and return a pattern description belonging to the Materials properties (also manual input). Something along the lines of ... if(Material: Material Marker = 100, "InputPatternDescriptionHere", "")  Those would ofcourse have to be unique values though.

Both are not automated though, both require user input (!input errors). Something to be said for Dynamo here probably...


Or if you are just looking for Material Takeoff Scheduling...

Thanks a lot for your answer and time, will give a try with dynamo after checking some YouTube

Thanks a lot for your answer and time, will give a try 

we tried to make a parameter for the material but it will give only the text not the graphic appearance,

will give a try also in dynamo ,

I think Dynamo would be a good option.
Another option is that you could also use a shared image parameter for the hatch pattern for the schedule.

You do not need a shared parameter. those are system families residing in the project...project parameter Instance/image suffice … see reply 2

Apologies, didn't see your post about that... And then I suppose project parameters would suffice. ^^
