Frequently we need more than 4 levels of sorting/grouping to control schedules. It would be helpful if we would be able to add as levels as required to control data in schedules.
This is affecting our offices workflows on multiple fronts and makes even family creation more difficult. In current state if "itemize every instance" is disabled, it causes often situations where some cells are left empty, because there are varying instance parameter values on elements on same row. I allows us to use only couple different instance parameters that we want to schedule and force elements on own row.
I would love to see something similar to view filters' UI, where you can add as many rules as you want.
ps. while you are fixing this, also update schedule filtering to allow OR rules 😉
Please add more sorting categories to the schedule filter. You should have a button in there were you can add another "then by" parameter category after 4 have been used up.
in the same boat here.... four level of grouping/sorting just doesn't cut it.
this really nullifies the might of shedules. what are possible workaraounds? the only thing i can think of is a mess with dynamo to "create" a shedule with graphics and text - which then of course is always out of date because someone forgets to run it before publishing stuff. and i the have the manager at my desk complaining.
it is all these small things - death by a thousand cuts.
I wonder why the option to add more sorting rows is missing? is there any difficulty behind it we(customers) don know about? opportunity of adding more rows would just sort so many problems in my opinion
It's been more than three years and we're still waiting. I know we can work around this but when we have 70 or more schedules, creating more just because of this limitation means a lot of work to maintain them.
Same. Almost impossible to get BOMs done with only 4 sort rows. Only option is to have excessive duplicate schedules that based on filtering. We need to report all the "I" in BIM.
I find this an essential feature. To create a standard room finish schedule by the template we use in Russia, i already need to sort by at least five parameters:
I have to create "combined" parameters through dynamo just for sorting. This makes the schedule prone to mistakes since you have to remember to run the script everytime something changes.
I also often use schedules throughout the work process just to make better sense of the model. Often that means working with a large number of elements, so it's impractical to list each of them separately, i really need them to be grouped. And if i'm trying to compare various parameters between them, if those parameteres are not also used for sorting, Revit will just show them as blank. That is very confusing and impractical...
Schedules would be a much more useful tool if they either -
- have more sorting fields
- allow sorting by combined paramerets
- or automatically don't group elements with differing parameters, instead of grouping them and showing a blank cell (this is the default behavior in Archicad and seems much more sensible - you don't have to wonder if this parameter is just missing)
We also see this as an important and vital improvement of the Schedules in Revit. We have products that have many different properties and thereby parameters that can be varied. For example a Sandwich Wall panel that can be varied in Length, Thickness, density of core, outside and inside color, profilation and thickness of steel sheets etc etc. Which means there is a risk that the user isn't able to group all the unique variants together, and thereby risk making a faulty specification and order for the product. We are currently making workarounds by creating combined parameters in our template schedules, which create a unice "code" by combining for example length, thickness etc. But they are not enough in all cases, espescially for a design engineer that is not an experienced Revit user there is a risk they are not able to group all the unique variants together correctly.
This is driving me crazy! Please add more sort/groupings. I don't want to have to duplicate schedules to get round this, I have hundreds of schedules in a project ... at least one for each room typically!!
OR
Add a button to "itemize uniques". In other words if a single parameter value changes, it will list the item separately without having to resort to making your schedule huge by "itemize every instance".
After all , if you add a parameter surely it means you want to see it... currently if a value varies between items and you have run out Sorting/Groupings it just shows blank. Useless!!!
I believe "Itemise uniques" is the most intuitive solution as it will list every unique item and collate duplicates. The Sorting/Grouping will then only control the order that the Schedule shows.
