Revit schedule copying and pasting from a different project levels up in its name

[jmclinch]

Hi,

Whenever I try to copy building schedule to paste another project with the same associate level, it pastes by leveling up in each attempt. Could you explain me what to do for avoiding this and what would be the rightest way to have schedules in the next project? Thanks

When you copy and paste a schedule, only the schedule structure and parameters are copied, not any building elements.  So I am not quite understanding what do you mean by "it pasted by leveling up in each attempt".  What are leveling up?

In the case of copying to clipboard from one project's schedule based on the first level, when I attempt to paste that schedule align to the other project's same level data sheet, it pastes and names as an upper level. Every attempt creates a different copy of schedule, naming the upper successive levels such as 2nd/3rd/4th... my 8th attempt was named 8th level building schedule. does that clarify the situation?

Which schedule are you copying and pasting?  How do you even paste a schedule align to level? 

Or do you mean the name of the schedule changed from something like SCHEDULE to SCHEDULE1 to SCHEDULE2 and so on?  If so, Revit automatically appends the next number when you paste in a schedule when one with the same name already exists.  It's normal and you can just delete the duplicate schedules and keep only one that you need.

Instead of Clipboard Copy/Paste, create Templates from the Schedules and use Transfer Project Standards to transfer the Schedule View Templates to different Projects.  Then create Project Schedules base upon the Templates.
