Hello AUGI World - I'm not used to operating with schedules at the best of time but I have a unique (I think) set of hurdles. I think I've ascertained that a takeoff is not a good route as I'm looking for my totals based on pieces or for walls, a total linear feet not material area.
My files are commercial buildings with multiple bays, the base building is sitting in one "design option" and each bay is drawn in another. Each bay will have the same wall types and I'd like to be able to have Revit do the work and pull out each design option into each schedule. So I made a wall schedule, I got the parameters working nicely and everything calculating totals - the only thing I can't seem to get is the design options - even if I turn one on in visibility, the others are set to automatic, not "none" or something which I would have expected. How do I get only one design option in the schedule?
In a perfect world though, I'd like to be able to have only one multi category schedule, but it doesn't seem possible to pull out things like walls. I thought perhaps creating a new parameter and selecting all the items I wanted included, but again Mr. Wall isn't there...Can I even do this, and If so, what am I doing wrong?
Speak slowly, I'm new to this
Thanks for your time!
