Adjustable row heights for schedules?

Adjustable row heights for schedules?

Sometimes we wish we could adjust the row heights such as microsoft spreadsheet. We can't do that on Revit.

Sadly, this is only a half attempt at this accomodation.
It's an all or nothing setting change and cannot be done on an individual basis.
I would love the option to adjust a single row or a single column. Take it further, I'd like to be able to control that within the cell block that I'm currently in that doesn't apply it to the rest of them in the schedule.

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones - NOT fully implemented (unless I'm missing something?) - doesn't work for Revision Schedules (the main reason we need it), and cannot adjust rows individually (as requested by some above) - or even the Header separately!

Why can't I vote for this?

Cannot find this feature even in Revit 2024.

@sophie.schilling ,

The ability to adjust the row height of schedules (as per the original Idea) was implemented in Revit 2024 when a schedule is placed on a sheet. Because this Idea was implemented, voting is closed. 

However, as others have pointed out, this functionality was not applied yet to Revision Schedules (not specified in the original Idea). This should be separated into a new Idea.

I've started a new voting option specific to row heights in revision blocks titled "Revision Block Row Height" Please vote and share @kimberly_fuhrman-jones @lionel.kai @Tres_Hernandez @sophie.schilling @qianr

Really?? After 7 years and over 700 votes, you're going to be pedantic about this and pretend like you didn't know we  want this for revisions schedules too? How many more years and votes do we need before that happens now?

 

What's up the monkey's paw approach to implementing Ideas? This is becoming a very concerning trend. The same thing was done with PDF imports, for example. The only option that was provided is to insert a rasterized image of the vector line based PDF... That's the same thing as just inserting an image like we've been doing for years! There's no way Autodesk didn't know that we wanted to be able to import the vector linework. I actually find it insulting that Autodesk thinks we won't notice or care about things like this.

it's 2024 now and this feature is still not available.

 

Absolutely ridiculous.

The new feature makes the formatting wildly inconsistent: Titles are vertically centered, Headers are bottom aligned, data rows are top aligned, grouping headers and footers are vertically centered again. Also when a cell overflows, it still grows in height. I added a sample below.

 

It would be a much better to be able to add padding to the cells and/or specify vertical alignment.

 

Additionally having to specify the row height in the sheet view is cumbersome: room lists for example are one schedule that is placed in all the plans and filtered by sheet. Now we'll have to apply row height to all the schedules-placed-on-sheets for consistent formatting. EDIT: Actually when you change it in one schedule on a sheet it will change in all the other instances of this schedule on other sheets as well.
