Font Control for Schedule Group Headers and Footers

[rickt]

In schedules, it is possible to control the Font for the Title, Headings and Body of the schedule, but there is no control for the font of the Group Headers and Footers.  They look the same as the body and tend to blend in.  Being able to control the font for these two items would allow you to differentiate them from the body of the schedule.

Please consider adding this functionality.

perfect. couldn't of put it better myself.

Exactly what i was about to post, but you probably did it better than i could of.

This is much needed functionality, i either have to put up with it being hard to distinguish between sub headings, or break the schedule down in separate schedules for each group, which makes the project browser a nightmare to navigate.

@Anonymous , I put this post together a few months ago, you may find it to be a useful alternative to multiple schedules.

@Anonymous  Thanks for the work-around!

Crazy to jump through all these hoops to make Revit do something that it should already do.  I've started adding a parameter called BLANK to the objects I plan to schedule just so I can add an empty column along the left side of the schedule that can be used for indenting.  The headings don't indent, so they become more visible.

Bump

It is also confusing that 'header' is used for two different Things:

1. the category e.g.  level

2. the parameter that the scheduel is being sorted by; if e.g. sorted by level then: first floor

Bump again. 

Are there any plans to address this request originally posted almost 2 years ago?

Agree with the above commenter, we need a fix to this.

[nick]

+1 for hoping for the much needed simple fix.

Bump

I really would like control over sub header fonts

[Anonymous]

Another bump to adding this control

[Anonymous]

Much needed feature. 

[amaclaggan]

Still needed.

[carolinekabus]

[johan_svahn]

[arunc]

Absolutely needed.

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.

Pretty PLEASE!

We also really need the ability to add a blank row after these group headers since they don't get one even when you add blank rows between all other items in the schedule.

Yes, there are workarounds, but they should not be necessary and a too fiddly to get to look right.

Hi

It would be great if you could develop a more versatile Schedule properties, in terms of changing appearance. Furthermost I think of possibillities in changing font/size/bold etc. to the Grand Total ("Total yta" in image) of areas and likewise to levels ("Plan 2" & "Plan 3" in image) since they become sort of sub-headers when you sort rooms by levels for instance.

All the best

Notice how many of these very very basic UX issues are still unresolved after YEARS.  Almost any Revit post I land on these days, has user requests for basic functionality ignored for literally years.  Its unreal that a flagship product would have this many issues.
