Creating a Pier Schedule

00:02

Here's a hint, in Revit land, a pier is actually a structural column.

00:06

This project is different from a typical Revit project, though.

00:09

It's different because we imported our civil structures.

00:12

We actually introduced a bunch of new parameters we can add to our schedule.

00:16

So, let's look at how to create a pier schedule.

00:19

So, let's jump into Revit.

00:22

It doesn't really matter what view we're in, but I'm going to jump to my south elevation, anyway.

00:28

Now, let's go to our View tab.

00:31

Let's go to the Schedules drop-down.

00:34

Let's go to Schedules/Quantities.

00:37

Let's scroll down until we find Structural Columns.

00:43

And for the name, let's call it PIER SCHEDULE.

00:48

Let's click "OK".

00:51

All right, so let's bring in some stuff.

00:53

I'm going to scroll down to Type Mark.

00:57

I'm going to add that by clicking this little button here.

01:00

Grab Type, going to add that.

01:06

Let's scroll until I find Parts Type, add that.

01:12

I want to find CIP concrete volume.

01:21

Right here. CIP concrete volume, going to add that.

01:26

Let's find Structural Material, click it, add it.

01:32

Now, let's grab some column stuff.

01:34

So, let's scroll up to where it says columns and brackets.

01:39

Let's find [Columns] Diameter.

01:43

[Columns] Depth is probably a good one.

01:46

[Columns] Number of columns.

01:48

All right, grab that.

01:51

[Columns] Width, grab that.

01:54

Maybe scroll down to the Pier Height.

02:00

We're going to add that.

02:03

And we can actually add stationing, too.

02:05

So, let's scroll down to Station, find that.

02:08

Let's add it.

02:11

All right.

02:12

Now, let's go to our Filter tab.

02:16

I want to filter by Type Mark.

02:21

I want it to begin with a capital P-.

02:30

That way, anything that has a P- is going to show up.

02:34

Now, let's go to our Sorting and Grouping tab.

02:38

Want to make sure we sort my Type Mark.

02:43

I want to make sure we turn on Grand totals.

02:49

Let's go to the Formatting tab.

02:53

I want to select CIP concrete volume.

02:59

For No calculation, let's make sure we calculate totals.

03:03

And let's click on our "Field Format".

03:08

I don't want this to use project settings, because I want this to be cubic yards.

03:15

Two decimal places is fine. Let's click "OK".

03:22

Let's click "OK".

03:30

Let's click "OK" here.

03:37

Here you go. Now, we have a schedule.

03:39

Notice that you can calculate your volumes.

03:41

If we go into Structural Material, I can click into here.

03:46

I can actually browse for our concrete.

03:50

Type in CONC.

03:55

We'll just say Cast-in-Place gray. Click "OK".

04:00

We can do the same for the rest of them.

04:02

Because notice we're in a schedule, so we can quickly update our components either physically in the model or in our schedule.

04:20

There you go. Save your model. That's how you create a pier schedule in Revit.
