Wall Schedule

[BIM_Dreamer]

hi experts, Is there any way can add a parameter of floor level in wall schedule?

[L.Maas]

You might use the base constraint parameter in a wall schedule.

What version of Revit are you using?

'Cause the parameter "Base Constraint" comes after "Assembly Name" and I don't see this in your list.

In older versions of Revit it isn't possible to schedule walls by level. You'll have to create a custom parameter.

[L.Maas]

I think "Base Constraint" was introduced in Revit 2015

[BIM_Dreamer]

don't have base constraint in Revit 2014. can create level parameter in Revit 2014?

[BIM_Dreamer]

i'm using Revit 2014, no base constraint.

[Kimtaurus]

You can create a new parameter for the levels of the walls.

Next you'll have to manually (or use Dynamo) fill in the data in the parameter.

Or, you can upgrade to a newer Revit?

i don't know yet how to use dynamo, can show or video on how to do it to create floor level since you are the one who suggested this.

cannot afford yet to upgrade newer version of revit our office too small.

This is an example how it can be done. I added a project parameter (text) for the walls named "WallLevel".

Then created this dynamo script.

It reads the base constraint from the wall element and puts the value in the WallLevel parameter. This parameter you can use in a schedule.

Underneath example of the Schedule in Revit 2017, so you can see that the values from the base constraint have been copied to WallLevel.

This (or similar) should work in Revit 2014. I am not sure about the situation of Dynamo in Revit 2014, which version is available. So the nodes might be a little bit different. I can not check as I only have Revit 2015, 2016 and 2017 available.

@L.Maas thank you for your time appreciated what you have done, i already mentioned in my previoust post that i don't have any knowledge using dynamo script. if you are kind enough can you show me in video how to to do this in dynamo so i can start to learn the basic and make this as my starting point.

[L.Maas · Accepted solution]

You should head over to DynamoBim.org. they have some nice learning material, like HERE. It is not that complicated

For this screencast I already started a new project (Revit 2017) with some walls and added a project parameter. "WallLevel".

Also created a schedule with, for reference, the base constraint parameter, so that you can see it works. As mentioned the nodes (the boxes) might be a little bit different in Dynamo for Revit 2014.

thank you.
