I had a bunch of questions but I just figured them all out :) except for the Revit Category number, anyone have a list of what category these numbers correspond to?

Here they are if anyone is interested

Goggle uniformat classifications. tons of stuff. This is the reason I have such respect for the guy's who started this software. A little bit of R&D....makes our job easier. Our QS's are marveling at the MDB files (or exel) we pass on. I am going to start claiming a percentage of their fee. Seeing that I am doing all the work.
Here is a PDF that explains and breaks it down into all the catagories of Uniformat.
That's just Uniformat. You get Master format as well.

Thanks Zeds!

There is a problem with russification of Uniformat classification... Revit does not accept Russian codings of fonts :( .

Thanks Zed, i'm propagating that document through all the offices.

Was wondering about this too.
Any progress? Any other files available than the standard NIS coding? We'd like to make cost estimations based on SFB (which is pretty much the allmighty standard in the NL).

Thanks for the document.


EDIT: is there any way to make multicategory schedules with system families? We want to make calculations using their assembly codes, preferable all in one schedule.

Bram,
I beleive you must make your SFB.txt by scratch.
Portugal (where I live) as no classification standards.
I started translating the spanish classification system - NTE, but soon gave up.
Since there is still no common EU standard on that, I adopted the Masterformat and Uniformat.

[clog boy]

I also think create a new one from scratch is the way to go.
Wasn't SFB an international ISO standard? The Revit file is a NIST standard.

Anyhow, we need SFB. I'm going to make it. Anyone who wants the file, contact my supervisor. Anything that your local office can calculate with will do IMO.

Why make it? Just contact Itannex and you will get a complete SFB list. We use it also.

My christmas wouldn't be complete without that list.
Can you send me your copy? Me and my sanity would thank you.

I am new to Revit and am feeling my way. In the UK we have our own building classification system (BCIS/NBS) and we also use SFB (swedish). Is there any way to selct the "Assembly classification" or is it hard wired. The Keynote file can be accessed dynamically [Annotate] [Tab] [Keynote settings] which allows you to have several alternatives that you can select on demand (US, UK or EU) etc).

Short cut:
You can open the original TXT file (either UniformatClassifcations.TXt or Keynote.TXT) in excel. This puts the three columns neatly separated.

Save as UniformatClassifications_OriginalFile.XLS (in your development directory)
Modify using Edit Replace etc, insert rows as required.
Save as UniformatClassification_UK_Equivalent.XLS (or in Dutch etc)
Delete all headers, delete columns to the left and all notes etc
Save as UniformatClassifactions.TXT in the original \Program\ directory

The assembly codes and descriptions will now be in Dutch and SFB categories etc.
