Vertical Alignment option for Text in Schedules

Vertical Alignment option for Text in Schedules

I'd like to have vertical alignment options of Top, Middle, and Bottom (right now it's forced to Top).

 

For example, I've got a sheet list (that I'm using for internal QC purposes) and because a few of the sheets have long titles, they wrap and cause that row to take up double the space. The other fields for those sheets (sheet number, previous issue date, PCD #, etc.) are top justified with a blank line below that keeps catching my eye & making me think I've got an empty field...

 

Also, whenever we do tables (for beam reinforcing, columns, etc.) we Middle justify multiple lines within the row. Right now we're using Detail Lines & Text, but one day I'd like to explore the possibility of using live Schedules...

A related idea: Schedules - Switchable Columns and Rows (so that elements would be presented as columns instead of rows, and headers/parameter names would be along the left).

Please do this.

Just found this while searching on how to do this as my boss has requested cells be vertically centered in our schedules.

 

It would be great if the body could be aligned vertically. I don't know why the option is restricted to headers and title only.

@guillermo.borras, OK, I am flabbergasted.  How in the world did you create that symbols schedule?  What is that???  HELP PLEASE!!!

@Ric_Weber I think it's probably images (which can be scheduled), not the actual Revit Annotation Symbols - you'd have to manually save/export/clip each one.

@lionel.kai That's what I was wondering too!  Images assigned to what type of family though?  I'm going down a rabbit hole I probably shouldn't.  Thanks!

@Ric_Weber If I was doing it, I would assign it as a Type property to the corresponding Annotation Symbols so that it would at least make sense (wrt what it's representing). You'd also need a way to filter it to what you want to show. I've heard some people use dummy families (AS or DC) and/or a separate phase (for model components - I've used that for pile cap legends). I chose not to pursue the image schedule because it's not end-user friendly (add/modify/etc.) - easier to just manually delete/edit Annotation Symbols & Text from a Legend in our Project Template.
