Schedules: Sorting/Grouping by Floors (Levels)

[danezeq]

I've found that there isnt a Floor/Level parameter on the schedule properties window.

Is there any way to do it anyway?

[hmunsell]

that would all depend on the type of schedule you are making. different parameter options are available for different categories.

[danezeq]

All my listings in this project are Specialty equipment.

[danezeq]

BTW i noticed that the families has a parameter for level in schedule which is great. but i cant find it on the schedule properties window.

[hmunsell]

what version of Revit are you using? i'm currently in 2020.2 and there is a Elevation from Level option for specialty equipment schedules when i make a schedule...... sorry, my bad.... just posted this and then saw you want the level name, not the elevation

[danezeq]

Yes it's the level NAME. the families has a parameter for level name but i dont know how to use it on schdule.

Click under the Select available fields from dropdown and add Room, then you will get Level from Room.

Sorry guys.

Somehow i could find level on the list, it's was hidden.

my mistake.

[hmunsell]

ok, i'm back, had to do some billable work :-)....

so do you still need assistance resolving the issue?

" Schedule Level" needs to be a Shared Parameter in order for it to report in Schedules.

Right now I CAN sort / group by elevation, but it depends on the parameter "schedule level" which i need to enter manually for each item. i can handle with that. no complains 🙂

the IDEAL way is that revit will know in which level every item is located, without me to manually tell him. but i don't know if it is possible.

btw: the parameter "Room: level" returns empty value on schedules.

Are you saying that "Level" is not an available parameter to your Specialty Equipment Schedules? 

[danezeq]

it IS available, but revit knows the value of "level" only if i manually enter it under "Schedule level" parameter (on instance properties window, of the family)

[barthbradley]

I'm totally confused. "Schedule Level" is not an in-built Parameter.  "Level" is.  My Specialty Equipment report what Level they are on.  Do yours not?

Noticed in the other topic you started on copying to other levels your elements were unassociated, that might be something to look at... not sure how that works in your schedule for your levels...

[danezeq]

When i create schedule for floors, for testing - it reports the levels.

But for some reason it doesn't report the levels of the signs (The signs defined as specialty equipment) only if i set the level manually in this not built in parameter.
