I am just wondering, if anyone else has encountered these problems, and how are you handling them? Thank you in advance!
-Dashes- It is very common for us to have Dashes (----) in cells to represent blank data. However with Revit, if you have the ‘Type of Parameter’ set to a number, or anything that is represented as a number, you can only show a number. If the cell is left blank, it will be left with a 0, which in some circumstances, can be bad. Or is there any way to just show the cell blank?
-Notes- In AutoCAD MEP we have our Schedule Notes come in with the schedule. Is there any way to attach the notes to the schedule in Revit? Right now we just have them as text under the schedule…
-MBH/BTU- How are you handling parameters that use units that are not standard units in Revit, such as MBH?
On that note, how are you handling parameters that share the same ‘Discipline’ and ‘Type of Parameter’ and appear in the same schedule, like PSIG and ftH20? Do you just choose one common ‘Project Unit’ and change the specific unit in the schedule?
-HP as a number- If you have the parameter set to HP, It is apparently impossible to show the rating as a fraction, are you accepting showing the HP rating as a number/decimal?
-Standard Shared Parameters- How many of you are using the AutoDesk Standard Shared Parameters? And how many of you are creating your own? Or using both?
Again, thanks in advance! I am sure a lot of people, if they have not already, will be encountering these issues. So any help is much appreciated, and will benefit all Revit users!
