I am not sure using a family is the way to do this, but I will ask the question here, anyway.

I want to make a form that captures relevant building code data for a building. i know I can make a form as a drafting view, but then the user must double click on each piece of text to complete the form. i would like it to work, for example, from the properties window, where the user can tab from one field to the next. Also, I would like to do this in Revit, and possibly link fields to such parameters as project information (Project Name, Address, Contact info, etc.), building area by occupancy groups, and so forth.

I tried doing this with schedules, but it lists the data in rows, rather than in columns.

Has anybody had success with anything like this? Is there an app for it?
