Schedule for structural connection

Hi everyone. I am using structural connections for the first time in R25. I created a great connection using the Steel ribbon. Connecting to W beams with a shear plate, nuts bolts, and washers. I am unsure how to get a schedule to read the properties and quantiles of these Items. Can anyone help? This is an important part of my template development

Once you create the steel connections (from the Steel tab), you can schedule bolts, plates, anchors, etc. separately — just go to View > Schedules > Schedule/Quantities, then pick from categories like Structural Connection Bolts or Plates.

Each element (bolts, plates, welds) needs its own schedule — Revit doesn’t combine them into one.

These have to be done individually at this time unfortunately

You can manipulate them to arrange them on a sheet so they look more like a combined schedule by removing headers etc.

Ok, thank you for your response. could you please tell me the best way to
add parameters to the plates for Height width and thickness. For some
reason I am having trouble finding a way to add these parameters to the
plates in the structural connections. Also having this trouble with the
bolts.I want to name them something like (3/4" Hex bolt, or helical spring
lock washer) thank you so much for your help, it is much needed and
appreciated

Are you trying to add these into the Structural Connection rather than use the Sub-Categories which already have them in place like the Plate schedule below?

Bolt Names are Hardcoded and more information can be found here;

There is a long workaround possibly;

I would be more inclined to use the Comments and this is a User-Defined field and Edit the formatting for the Heading Name

Awesome, you helped me with my plate problem. My issues was I was making a structural connection schedule, and not a plate schedule. Once I made the schedule specific to plates I was able to add the parameters needed thank you so much. 

I am still having issues with the Bolts. Although I can add the Comment parameter to the schedule I am unable to place text there when the bolts are part of a "connection" meaning I use the structure tab then connection for a standard preassembled connection. I can add a comment if I am simply using the Steel Bolt tool, but once that goes into a connection I no longer have the option to comment.

Try using the Tab Key and hover you mouse over the Bolts to Cycle Select the Bolts in the Connection.

 

Also you should be able to enter information in the Schedule directly for Comments in the fields there.
