Hi,
I have trawled through the boards here but can't quite find a solution for this.
I am wanting to create a schedule that can:
a) be sectioned into various areas of a room. For this I can simply control/filter this by the standard item numbers.
b) create sub item numbers that form part of the specification of the fabricated items. For example we would itemise the frontage finishes, the worktop finishes, the kick plinth finishes at 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc.
Issue is these all form part of the same Revit family.
Any advice or help here is much appreciated. I can't see a simple way forward on this as yet. I've seen some ad on's but this is specifically for MEP installation works. Not specification of fabricated items/speciality equipment. Would obviously prefer not to use an add on for this and find a native solution.
The schedule will only report instances of each Specialty Equipment family. If you want to report also the parts and pieces, the families needs to be done in a different way, using nested shared families for the parts. It is doable, but that was not planned ahead, and to do that now it will be time consuming. So, instead of a schedule, maybe you can show an axonometric view of the equipment, using simple arrows and text notes or keynoptes to provide information about the parts and pieces.
Thanks Alfredo,
yeah I appreciate this isn't going to be straight forward to organise.
The solution of a diagram doesn't quite work as our schemes include lots of items that require their own specifications on different parts of the fabrication.
An example would be a bespoke front counter which would normally be specified in AutoCAD like:
Item 1 - Bespoke Front Counter, 2000 x 700 x 850mm, Stainless steel construction with ambient voids to service side.
Item 1a - Corian Top Finish, 50mm downturn, 20mm thickness
Item 1b - Slatted Timber Frontage, 20 x 40mm, Oak, Oiled Finish
Item 1c - Stainless Steel Kick plinth, brushed and coated
Apologies Alfredo, not sure if I actually replied to yours or my message there.
Hi, no problem. If that is your specialty, and if using text and 3d views is not good, then you need to modify the families to have nested shared parts that you can annotate and schedule individually in the project.
Nesting shared families of various components in a parent family then you can schedule them individually in the project.
Thanks, I think this is probably the way we'll develop our library.
From a couple of tests it seems the ability to schedule/number each part is available in the project but it doesn't pull through the numbers from the nested families. Is there a reason for this?
I think it's probably best it's edited in the project file anyway as nested family items within the parent family will often be edited/deleted/added as the project develops.
