Hi there,
I'm trying to shift my office to Revit.
So far, so good, but I'm carefully picking my battles.
Sometimes it's easier to do things as Revit likes out of box.
But sometimes, for the sake of clarity of presentation, adopting the existing office conventions would help the bosses help to swallow the Revit pill.
Trying to have a schedule where I can have fields running down Column A, and Values run down Column B
Field 1 | Value 1
Field 2 | Value 2
Field 3 | Value 3
Field 4 | Value 4
I believe I've seen some threads request this feature as early as in 2008.
But I haven't been able to find or figure out the solution myself.
Hi!
Can you be more specific and post some screenshots for better understanding?
Kind regards,
Dmitriy Semko.
in the schedule select the formatting tab and change the fields you want to be vertical to Heading Orientation Vertical and leave all other in the Horizontal orientation.
some adjustment on the sheet may be needed to get the correct final result
hopefully this helps.
My apologies,
I should have been more clear to begin with,

I'm looking to be able to do something similar
(This is also how my company does things like windows and baseplates)
Parameters in column A ||| Fields/Values column B
Type Mark ||| DR01
Material ||| Wood
Panel Width ||| 3'-0"
Panel Height ||| 7'-0"
Glazing ||| None
I would have each type would have an individual schedule located below a graphical detail
The below cannot be done with a schedule. But you can create a custom Door Tag to show the information.
Thank you sir,
I never really thought about that!
While a tag could be done, should I be doing it that way?
Would best practice be to change our presentation methodology to have the information in a single standard Revit Schedule?
It really depends on your firm's attitude toward adapting to new standards. Using schedules is obviously an easier way and with some organized and creative thinking you can format them to be clean, hierarchical, and without repeating information. Graphic wise, Revit schedules are miles behind Excel and even AutoCAD tables. I personally can live with that but I can see that is the road block that prevent many "traditional" architectural firms from take full advantage of the scheduling functionality.
Using Tag to imitate with you show will take more work, but once it is setup properly, it can be laid out pretty quickly. You will have more freedom in terms of formatting the information itself and plus the actual elevation legend of the doors.
The one thing I would try to avoid at all cost is using text note to deliver the information.
Below is a test schedule with door image that I posted in another thread. Maybe you could find it useful.
We have this same issue at my firm. Not possible without some workaround. I did post a topic to the Revit ideas board, to request this feature. Who knows.
