We need a Quick Schedule tool. It is often difficult and time consuming to create multiple filters to reach out only the few elements we need a schedule for.
It would be a lot easier (and quicker!!) to first filter out/hide elements in current view, then create a quick schedule only for the displayed / selected elements. Then we could simplify the schedule by hiding parameters we don't need.
Sometimes filters may be tricky, especially on large projects. I find it much simpler to create a 3D Section Box, then apply hiding (filter out) elements on that until i have only the objects-of-interest displayed. Still i can't do a quick schedule on that. Revit asks me for categories, types, parameters, etc. I have to choose from a long list of names (all categories, all parameters ,etc).
On a quick schedule, the (unavailable) parameters are already filtered out. Unavailable categories won't display. A very much shorter list of (available) parameters to further filter out (if necessary).
Quick Schedules on Views would quantify Design Options much quicker. Would be able to see what Design Option is more expensive. Give the client a clear picture of terms and costs.
