Some times the same key schedule information needs to be shared between different categories (pipes + fittings)
It will reduce number of Key Schedules and usability of data adding (for example, use Tab for pipe + fittings highlight and choose one Key for different categories)
If I understand correctly, we came across a similar problem. I will explain in short:
We have two parameters for floor finishes (Primary and Secondary) as Room parameters. Currently, the Floor Finish parameter is the built-in one, while we add the Secondary Floor Finish parameter. Both 'text' based.
Ideally both fields (parameters) would be populated using the same Key Schedule. Key Schedule allows us to store additional information regarding the finishes (like LRV used), as well as restricts the user input to pre-defined entries. Also, the end-goal is to export the LRVs per room for all the finishes used and perform contrast analysis against a pre-set rules (probably in Excel, this work is ongoing).
Is there any way to populate two parameters from the same Key Schedule? Or maybe there is an alternative workflow?
We did consider materials (and split faces), but these do not schedule per room on a floor for instance (please, correct me, if I am wrong here).
If we had the ability to apply a Multi Category Key schedule across select elements, I.e. Project information, Areas, Rooms, etc. We could incorporate Global information like CODE (IRC, NFPA, etc) globally to elements for scheduling and calculations. This would strongly cast element types or instances to associated data and allow for integral checks and validations within revit.
Great Idea to have the possibility to create key-schedules for more than one category. As it is possible also for parameters to add categories where they should applied, you should implement this even for key-schedules.
Would be also nice to have the possibility to move a key-parameter to a different group then "ID-DATA".
I fully agree with this proposal. From an architectural perspective, the same key schedule information is very often shared between closely related categories such as doors and windows. Splitting identical data into separate key schedules only creates unnecessary duplication, increases maintenance effort, and risks inconsistencies in the model.
What makes this especially frustrating is that this idea was originally proposed already in 2016. It is disappointing that such a fundamental usability issue has still not been addressed by Autodesk. Key Schedules are a core data-management feature, yet their limitations suggest that development priorities are driven more by popularity or “vote counts” than by a real understanding of everyday BIM workflows.
It is genuinely irritating that commonly needed, productivity-critical functionality like this remains missing after so many years, despite being very clearly relevant to real-world use.
