Schedule Count

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have a situation where I have different components in my projects. Some of these components I have used multiple times. On my schedule each of the components have their rows even the duplicates(each of the multiple times ones).

What I want is for each component to have just one row, so if they are used multiple times the count only should be the one to increase.

I looked at the following:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/scheduling-assemblies-count-field/m-p/620497...

However when I apply the same solution by unchecking itemize every instance, I get only 1 row. One row representative of all my components.

Just a bit of background,all my components were made using metric generic model, the type mark box is empty.

Thank you in advance,

Generic Models can be moved over to different categories. That will solve your problems.

Thank you for your reply, how do I do this? Do I go into the individual family, highlight them and change a particular setting in properties?

Thank you in advance,

Yes. Open the individual family and change the Categories

Generic Models can be changed over to most categories, except Mass. This should solve your problem.

If you could mark my reply as an accepted solution, that would be great. Thank you!

To change a category you have to edit a family and pick Category from Create panel.

If you want your components to stay as generic models then you can also try to sort your schedule by family/type or any other parameter.

Have you set the "Count" field to calculate totals in the formatting tab?

Hey

What are you sorting your schedule by?

The "itemize every instance" option, when unpicked, will group them by whatever is in your "Sorting/Grouping" tab within your schedule. See image below. This is sorting rooms by their level, then their Department (as an example)

I hope this helps 🙂

Thank you for the replies and answers much appreciated. I pretty much got to the solution using the same logic @Alisder.Brown.
