Schedule Issue, creating Empty Row for N/A items

[archimotto]

Hi all, 

I think it is a silly question but wanna see if anyone tried and hack on this before.

It is a question on area schedule.  In revit, we used to create area plan, assigning area boundary/area tag and brings in a new row in schedule.  In my case, i need to create a new row just to show ppl that specific items is not available or apply in the design.   (As per attached image, few of the items were highlighted as N/A)

I was thinking to create a tiny area that won’t affect the overall area but it seems a bit stupid and not reasonable as a template.  Do you guys have any idea or hack when during with this situation? 

Thanks a million

you could insert a comments row, and edit the comments of your areas

Sure you can.  Create 2 areas with the same name for each N/A row, Sort by Area Name, uncheck Itemize every instance, and use this format for each of the fields that you want to display N/A:

Sounds like a job for filtering.

Hi all, 

Thanks for your precious time to reply.

it is not quite only a filtering issue.  The N/A row indeed should be a parametric data, whether when the condition (the area exemption) applies, it will do the calculation and appears on the row, if not, it will appear N/A.  It can be done by inserting a new sting column to apply with text.

Maybe i didn’t convey my message good enough.  I find difficulties on the follow issue:

1.  I need an extra row for those items (let say car park), i don’t have car park in my design but i still wanna tell ppl that the exemption won’t apply and show N/A in the submission; (so it varies in different projects)

2.  I am trying to set up a schedule template, that’s y I don’t wanna create a new unwanted area (it not only affect the total count, but sound weird to have some unwanted area from the beginning);

3.  I did think about doing the area calculation in schedule, and do another schedule template with Key Schedule (and insert the data i calculate from the above mentioned schedule)

Thanks all , again.

Thanks ToanDN,

i am trying to setup a schedule template for colleagues, and i am not able to have two same areas in the beginning.

i did think about creating an area called VOID and set it with no calculation value, but it will still create an additional count for each of the items.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi vitorbortoncello,

Thanks for your reply.

the N/A colume is actually a parametric column that might have calculation values, so it varies from different projects.

My question is :

Revit will automatically create a new row when u create an area.  In my case, i wanna to create an “empty“ Area without counting issue (as a template) for each category for achieving the schedule format. 

Thanks for your reply again.
