Wall Schedules Showing the orientation of the wall

Hello Everyone,

 

Im trying to create a wall schedule that will have the total area of a wall for each and every different orientation. Please see the attached file showing an example of how i would like my wall schedule. I've been struggling with that.

 

I have drawn my exterior walls and tagged them. Since the building is divided into the four (N, S, E,W) orientationS. How do i get the exact orientation of the wall to be shown in the properties browser.

I hope im making sense.

 

TIA

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no orientation shown by default in wall category.

But you can manually select the walls and filter them by orientation either by adding comment or mark to it.

For example i have 10 walls which are in South portion of my building, i will select all those walls and put up a comment 'south'. then i will make a  wall schedule and filter by comment to sort out my walls in that orientation.

Area parameter will be there by default so no need to do anything manually just add the parameter in the fields.

Hope it works for you.

One question?

You are tagging the walls by orientation?

If yes, then you must be adding a comment or mark value to your wall in order to tag it.

You can use the filled value for schedule as well.

My approach will be this:

1. Create New Project parameter From Manage tab-->Project para.--> add-->give Name: Orientation ,Discipline:Common, Type of para: Text, Group under: text, Select "instance", Choose Walls From Catagories.--> Okay.

2. Now Select all walls In Any orientation to add their Orientation parameter from the property window.

3. Create Wall schedule.From Views tab--> Schedule-->schedule/quantity

4. Select Fields as need in addition orientation and area. Sort by Orientation--.Check Header & Blank line & Grand totals at the bottom

Under formatting tab select area field and under calculation select count totals

Then you can use the mark value to sort your data (orientation) in schedule

You may want  to look into using Roombook for this.  

 

FWIW

In terms of the wall orientation, we found access to that information through the Revit API. I believe we had to do some work to get at it. In a couple of our programs (Ideate BIMLink & Ideate Explorer), we list that information as a parameter. Like the other folks on this thread mentioned, building a Project Parameter (if you don't need to tag the wall orientation in your plans) or a Shared Parameter (so you can tag the orientation) would be the way to go. If you ended up using Ideate BIMLink or another product, you can export all of the wall data (there is SO much wall data available outside the native Revit interface), plus your custom Project or Shared Parameter, to Excel and then using the values reported by BIMLink or another program, feed that information into the custom orientation parameter and then push it back into Revit. Once you get it set up, it will take less than a minute to complete the task. If you make changes to your walls, such as re-orient them, etc, then you can quickly push that data back out, fix it quickly in Excel, and then pull it back in to update your Revit.

 

Hope this helps. I am here if you have questions.
