Schedule of Brick Wall with 3 types of Bricks

[yusefrincon749099]

Hello, I've been working on a brick wall family for a brick manufacture company and they have requested for the family to be able to quantize 3 types of bricks that are involved in the construction of a single wall. There is 1 main brick whick conforms the wall, a corner brick which is used when joining 2 walls perpendicularly, and and another which is a half brick used at the end the wall when it's left unconnected and in the need of a clean flat finish. I have programmed the schedule to divide the general area by the area of the main brick, but that only gives me the quantity of that single type of brick; the other two are trickier, since revit doesn't have the parameter to quantize corners or unconnected end walls. I was hoping I could get the value of those parameters (corner and unconnected wall ends) and set a schedule formula getting the total of the other bricks, but I haven't been able to do it. If anyone has a better idea!

Help!

Welcome on your first post!

Unfortunately, your question does not have an easy answer. I cannot think of a straightforward way of getting the information you want. That said, you should look into Dynamo. There may be a way to collect data on the brick wall end conditions through the API that you can then push into Shared Parameters of the walls. I'm thinking you could run a Dynamo script that looks for all the brick walls in a project, then fills in "Right Join" and "Left Join" parameters for each wall. Then you could schedule walls and inspect those parameters.

I'm not the right person to ask about Dynamo, but there is a very active Dynamo forum where you'll likely find better advise.
