Adding and/or Filter Capabilities to Revit Schedules

Adding and/or Filter Capabilities to Revit Schedules

It would be a nice addition to Revit Schedules to have OR filter capabilities similar to what has been added to normal View Filters. This would greatly increase are filtering capabilities, especially when scheduling items from Linked Models. In our case we often generate Revit based drawing lists that include elements from linked models, but often do not want to include items from all linked models. Also reducing the need for Shared Parameters for simple filtering and organization.

Link CAD

  1. I need to create to Room in linked CAD Floor Plan, I use Room Separator.
  2. The problem is when I pick lines, the lines imported from the CAD file and represent the room boundary, they have been exploded so I can not pick lines as single  polyline anymore.
  3. I suggest to make room in 2D linked CAD Floor Plan automatically using the space borders, and input the room height and neglect room boundary condition.

The option of "Or" would be incredibly helpful for schedules, especially because they currently have a fixed number of filters allowed.

 

Links are a key scenario where "or" comes into use.  We might be linking in an older existing model where different terminology was used for elements or sheets that need to be filtered.  Multi-category schedules are another.  "Equipment" is often a mix of categories.  Furniture items might be dictated by a family name prefix, category OR a comment.

 

Schedules should be updated to have the flexibility and robustness offered by view filters.  Perhaps they could even pull from the same filter list?
