Make a table or "dumb" schedule that can be freely filled out without BIM

 

 Look at the attached table that merges rows and columns and does NOT use any actual model information. How would I create that? 

 

That would be like a detail item that does NOT use any actual model information (not counting or listing any actually used elements). it basically should allow me to write in whatever I want and merge cells.

 

A very complex way would be to make it a 2D drawing, but that would be cumbersome first, and a hassle every time i change something that requires increase in row/column size. another idea would be to make it in Excel, and somehow export or screenshot it into Revit. Also not ideal since i prefer to make changes in Revit directly.

Use a key schedule or a noteblock collecting data from generic annotation symbols fillable parameters. However, you will not be able to merge rows as shown. For such, you need to create the entire table as a generic annotation family with lines and labels.

Thanks, all.

 

I looked into the options, some thoughts:

- it looks like importing data from Excel requires an add-in (meaning, it doesn't work in Revit oob), or am i missing something?

- using a Noteblock seems to be similar to the key-notes. it looks like I would have to create and place them in a view to be visible int he schedule. what i want is a schedule/table toat always shows the same, regardless of the actual model. So basically want to create it once (the example is an insulation schedule, but there are 1000 ideas I have) and place the same table into all projects and it always looks the same.  

- I used schedule keys before to make an abbreviation table. I can explore that more. It still wouldn't allow merging, or separate notes at the bottom of the table. 

 

Looks like what I want isn't readily available. 

 

If there was a table function in drafting views, that would be what i need (i submitted an idea)

You can do it. The trick is use the header to customized. See sample just to get the idea

@syman2000no idea what you're showing... ?

Perhaps you could have a look at Revit add-ins for Excel link...

Well if you're going to use a header, you might as well just insert it as pdf ie. It kind of defeats the purpose of Revit and having the schedule correspond to whatever you are building, being parametric and all that... so I'd reconsider the above mentioned by @ToanDN, also because of the nescessary field which you're probably stuck with(?) using header, but interesting thought nonetheless.
