material Schedule levels

[TomasoCardia]

Hi All, 

Is it possible to divide the cout of material for levels? 

I need to know how much material for level are in the project (for example how mucho concrete) 

Thank you very much!

Parts.

What does it mean ?

[barthbradley]

It sounds like what you are trying to accomplish can be done by making/scheduling Parts.  That's what we use. I was just offering the idea up for your consideration.

A material take-off schedule can reference information from elements.  So, if you somehow can give identity to the elements in order to group/filter them per level then you are all set.

Levels in a MTO?

It is strange because I can't see the levels (see the adding image)

the model has all the planes but on the schedule (of material) doesn't appear

Is it a category specific or a multi category take-off?  What Do you have element spanning more than one levels?

If you make a Multi-Category Material Takeoff, you can add the Level field, but that will only show on Columns and Floors (talking only about structural elements).

@ToanDN gave you the solution (find a way to somehow filter and sort them by level).

You could approach it like this:

1. Create a Project Parameter applied to everything and call it Slevel (schedule level)

2. Select your elements in each level and fill in the parameter. You could also take a look at Dynamo for this, the script to select elements in a view and copy a value from one parameter to another should be pretty simple ( https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/how-to-select-all-elements-from-a-category-at-each-level/5168 ).

3. Make your MTO and sort and filter it by SLevel and material name and so on.

Hi

your best option is Create Material Schedule for

1. Walls

2. Floors

and then you can use use baseoffset to sort the schedule..

if you use generic material take off, it wont help  you much cause its 

hard to sort by levels ...just more inviting problems..

try to use default revit element properties to get quicker and correct result..

Cheers

Hi, 

The parameter could be Reference Level.
