A schedule is simply another way of displaying a building model in Revit.

00:08

Therefore, when you make changes to the model that affect items in the schedule, the schedule immediately updates, or vice versa.

00:16

To create a schedule, click Schedule/Quantities to open the New Schedule dialog.

00:22

Select the Category of elements that you want to schedule.

00:26

To help you reduce the number of categories you see,

00:28

you can expand the Filter list and select or deselect disciplines to show or hide their categories.

00:34

Once you select a category, Revit automatically fills in the Name of the schedule.

00:39

You can enter a different schedule name, if you prefer.

00:42

Next, choose Schedule building components.

00:45

Leave the Phase set to New Construction.

00:48

Click OK.

00:50

Revit then displays the Schedule Properties dialog.

00:55

Verify that the category in the Select available fields from drop-down is correct.

00:59

If not, expand the drop-down and select the correct category.

01:04

Now, select the Available fields you want to include,

01:07

and then click Add parameter(s) to place them into the Scheduled fields (in order) list.

01:12

Once you have placed all the fields into the Scheduled fields list,

01:16

the order they appear in determines their column order from left to right in the resulting schedule.

01:22

To change this order, select the field you want to move, and then click Move parameter up or Move parameter down.

01:28

When you are done, click OK.

01:31

Revit then creates the new schedule and automatically opens that view, so you can see your building project at a schedule glance.
