Electrical equipment datasheets from MEP

[Anonymous]

Hello,

What is the better procedure to use REVIT MEP to create an equipment datasheet? Is it better to populate the families with all necessary information and use an external aplication to create the datasheet or is it possible to create a datasheet directly inside REVIT MEP. I have attached a sample of a datasheet with the information that I suposse need to be created as shared parameter´s.

Thanks,

Joao Laudares

The image is too small to read, but looking at the structure/layout, I don't believe this would be possible in Revit. Revit is capable of creating basic schedules in the form of data spreadsheets including any desired data that the Families contain, but I don't think it can create a datasheet as you've shown.

Thank you Corey. I thought that REVIT had a similar solution for datasheet templates as we have in Autodesk Plant Report Creator. We will move forward using Excel files with data from a SQL Database. The good thing with Report Creator is that it is very easy to create and mantain a report and I think that this may be a wish list for REVIT.
