ROOM SCHEDULE WITH A LIGHT SCHEDULE WITHIN IT

Pardon me if this has been discussed but I need a some help.

In order to help with comcheck/energy code light fixture counting, I am trying to create a schedule in Revit to do just that.

Attached is what I got from another board to try to modify (but uses spaces instead of rooms).

 

What I am trying to see is a schedule organized per room name, under each name the type and quantity of lights in that room.

 

I am in an electrical model with an architect model linked into it.

 

1. create a lighting schedule with rooms as a field, include rvt links is checked. It shows my types, but the architect's room names are blank.

 

2. If I pull up the architect model and create a room schedule with an embedded light schedule. It has the room names but the light types are blank.

 

It seems like it needs the electric model's lights but the architectural linked model's rooms.

 

The light families have 'room calculation point' checked already.

 

Ideas? modifications? is it do-able? dynamo? a plug-in?

 

Using Windows 10, Revit 2017.2

Create Spaces in your model, they will sync with the link Room names and numbers.  Then use Space fields for your schedule.

I tried using the space tool in 2017, but it does not allow me to select or convert anything. (no levels, no objects, nothing happens).Will it do it if the architect model is linked?

 

Attached is another version that I tried.

- Go to a plan view, highlight the link , edit type and set it to Room Bounding

- Analyze tab > Space tool, then Place Spaces Automatically button

- Repeat for other levels

- Analyze tab > Space Naming button, then follow the prompt to match them with the Rooms from the link

Are you including elements in Links?

ok, that got things to populate.

Now, I see that not all rooms and light fixtures are showing up.

 

It looks like it is listing only one type in these areas. In some cases there are multiple types in an area.

Set this so that the Spaces automatically fill the volumes without manually change their Heights.
