Quick question for all you experts out there-
I have IBC table 1004.1.1 as a key schedule in Revit.
I then have a "building component" schedule in which the areas on my F&L Safety plan are then scheduled according to the info in the key schedule (Use of Space, Occupant Load Factor and Net/Gross).
I want the key schedule information to be visible on the floor plan (and available as a parameter) in my custom area tags. I can get the info that is exclusive to the "building component" schedule to appear in a tag with a custom label (as a shared component), but the key schedule parameters won't show up in a label no matter what I do. Can key schedule parameters not be shared components? If not, what is their use?
Here is how I would like it to function:
Have a "key" schedule with IBC 1004.1.1 info: Use of Space, SF/Person, and Gross/Net, and Calculated Occupants.
Make a custom area tag that has a label for the same categories as above: "Use of Space, SF/Person, and Gross/Net". No need for Calculated Occupants to show up in the tag as I've read that isn't currently possible without manually typing value into a component schedule field.
Any way to do this without having to duplicate the information in the building component schedule? I can get the key sched info to appear in the building component schedule, and I can see the key sched info as parameters in the area tag, but I can't make those parameters visible in the area tag by using a custom label in the area tag family.
Is it possible to get the key sched info to be visible in the tag? I would like to be able to draw a custom area boundary, tag it, then select the area properties, use a pull down box to pick (for example) "accessory storage" and have Revit then populate the area tag with Use of Space, SF/Person, and Gross/Net, as well as populating the building component (area) schedule, populating the fields and calculating the # of occupants, all automatically.
If it seems I am repeating myself, I am just trying to find the best way to describe what I am trying to do. Thanks!
