Show only doors that are tagged in a door schedule

Is there a way to show only the doors that have been tagged in a door schedule? I don't want the schedule to show every single door in the project

There is not really a way to do this.  You could add a parameter to say if a door is tagged or not and use that parameter to filter the schedule, but it would require someone manually manipulating the tag to set if the door is tagged or not.

 

Perhaps another way to do it would be to use a particular family of door that was a placeholder until tagged and part of the tagging process was to swap out to the "real" door. then you could filter the schedule of the "generic" placeholder doors. This might be a little more fool proof, but still requires some additional work and manual coordination.

 

IDK?  Maybe someone else has a better idea on this one.

No, you can not schedule only doors that have a tag attached.

 

You will need to filter on a parameter belonging to the doors. For example you could add parameter IsTagged or TagNumber and then fill this (manually) with data if the door is tagged.

@loboarch, what I have done sometimes is to create a phase before the existing project.

Place relevant items in that phase and schedule. make sure that the items are demolished before the 'real' phases

I just realized my 2nd idea to filter on the family would not work. You can't filter a schedule based on the family.

 

Another idea would be to either add a character to the "mark" value and then filter a schedule based on that, or just change the mark value totally to use the same value on a "place holder" door and filter off those. Here is an example of that. I also created a special family to act as my "place holder" so it is easier to see which ones are not going to schedule, or need to have their mark value set to a generic value.

What is the difference between tagged doors and others? New versus existing?

Is this still not possible in revit 2023??

I know we can filter based on elements in sheet, but thats not enough. i want something like keynotes, where only tagged elements is visible in schedule.

No, but there are various ways to do it, as listed above.

 

There is another option not listed above : Dynamo. You'd still need to add a parameter for "tagged/not tagged", but you could use Dynamo to check/uncheck that parameter based on which elements are tagged. Then filter the schedule by that parameter.
