Structural Connection Schedule

[mholzer]

When creating a Structural Column Schedule there is a parameter "Column Location Mark" in the Available Fields section of the Schedule Properties. This parameter allows the grid intersection for each column to be scheduled.

I have placed the Structural Connections family Column Base Plate on top of my footings at grid intersections. Now I want to create a schedule for the Column Base Plates that calls out the grid intersection at which each base plate is located. Unfortunately there is no Location Mark parameter available for Structural Connections in the Schedule Properties. Is there a way to accomplish this?

I am using Revit Structure 2011.

Thanks!

I think the column location mark is only part of the structural column schedule.
I made a base plate family that is part of the column family. The base plate would then have column location mark. The problem is that you want column and base plate info on the same line. What I do is have two diffenent schedules column and base plate and combine the two schedules on the sheet. You need to filter and sort the two schedules to keep info in sync. It is easy to align the two schedules on the sheet to apear as one schedule, as long as you keep the same format for the two. I have also combined more than two schedules to look as one on sheet. So I can have one schedule with column, base plate, pedestal, and footing grouped on one line based on the same column location mark. Maybe in the future Revit will allow better scheduling to easy combine multiple families by column location mark on same line.

Thank you for the response. I was not sure if nesting the base plate family in the column family would be a good idea because that would require two column families: one with a base plate and one without a base plate for the upper floors. However this seems to be the only way to schedule base plates by grid location. I will try it out.
