Schedule Sorting/Grouping Font Format

Schedule Sorting/Grouping Font Format

Hi,

So, it would be wonderful if you could also format the font for the headers and footers associated to the header and footer selection boxes in the Sorting/Grouping tab of schedules (see the sorting tab attached image, yellow highlights).  Currently in the Appearance tab you can alter the header font of the column headers, but that is the header for the entire column.  We use the Sorting/Grouping header tool to show discipline headings with separation that breaks the column down even further (like a sub-heading) on our enumeration of drawings.  Currently, this text can only be the same as the Body text because it seems that Revit sees this as part of the Body of the schedule text. 

This would be a wonderful addition to the Revit arsenal in schedule editing.  See the attached images for added reference to what I am talking about.  The final product image is seemingly the furthest I can take this.  The sub-headings (disciplines) should be perhaps bold and underlined, or slightly larger.  I can accomplish this by creating separate schedules filtered to show the disciplines individually as I need them by using the schedule Title cell, but I'd rather have this be one schedule.

This would be extremely helpful!

Right now, the only solution I found to this is in post #5 of this thread: https://www.revitforum.org/node/30664

Was this feature ever added? I am currently trying to do just this and cannot. All I want to do is make the sort by parameter heading bold and not everything else!

Great idea.

It would be awesome if we could highlight totals in bold for instance.

Can we please have a font control specifically for schedule headers/footers created under the sorting/grouping tab by selecting the checkboxes.

 

Currently these headers use the font type that is associated with body text defined in the appearance tab of the ui.

The image shows how I would like to see this font controlled.

Header text style is associated with Header text under the Appearance tab, not the Body text. You can see the font change in the schedule when you set it to a different style but you won't be able to see size change until you place the schedule into a sheet.

Yeah not talking about the main headers, I am talking about the sub-headers created with sorting/grouping.

Here is a snip of a sheet list placed on a sheet with the sub-header text using the 2mm body text and the actual headers using the 15mm text. We either want it to use the header text or even better would be to have its own text as I originally posted.

Thanks for commenting without testing though.

@Mike.FORM oh I see. My bad. should've read more carefully.

Yes please!

There is a workaround to achieve this, but it's not so clean and causes confusion when someone else tries to edit the schedules (https://revitlink.blogspot.com/2017/02/revit-schedules-how-to-format-headers.html).

 

In addition to adjusting the grouping header appearance, it would be nice to be able to do the same for totals and grand totals.

@Aku-J That is how I currently get schedules to look the way I want. I had figured it out through trial and error and it is definitely time consuming.
