Refinish Scheduling

[guitarchitect7]

So lets say that throughout an existing building you're keeping the existing doors, windows, stairs, etc, but you're just refinishing it all. Possibly adding paint or different colored stain. How do you schedule this? When doing schedules I don't want to show anything existing that doesn't change, but I'm not sure how to represent an existing door with just a new finish? What I've done in the past is demo the old door replace with a new door and just add a note in the description part of the schedule stating its the existing door with a new finish. But this can get repetitive for large projects with a lot of doors.

Any tips?

For something like existing doors getting a new finish, I would leave the doors as existing, but include them in the schedule, or perhaps make a second schedule of existing elements, with no size/material/frame/detail information, just the information about the new finishing.

Almost all entities in Revit have an instanced Comments field in them. Place a single consistent word, or letter in that field, and then in a schedule for that type of object it that field, and the phase, filter by what you entered, plus the phase, and you'll get a schedule of just the existing walls, or doors, that get refinished. For walls, it would be better to make some wall tags, or other indicators, that show the locations of these walls.
