Presenting Today…..


If you can model it, you can schedule it. Using schedules in Revit is a powerful way of

viewing the Information in your BIM projects. Schedules in Revit have improved over the

past couple of releases. This session will explore the new features in schedules as well as

discuss some of the lesser known parts of creating schedules like Creating Embedded

Schedules, using Conditional Formatting in schedules, or understanding Key Schedules. We

will also dive into Shared, Project and Global Parameters and how to use these in calculated

formulas.

Class summary / Learning Objectives

At the end of this class, you will be able to:• Work with Parameters in Schedules

• Know When and Where to use Key Schedules

• Create Embedded Schedules

• Use Tips and Tricks with Schedules


Agenda

Exercise 1• Adding Images to Schedules

Using Images In Schedules


Using Images In Schedules• Use images

that are

imported into

the model.

• Images appear

when schedule

is placed on

sheet.

• System

Families have

Type Image

and Image
