I dont know if this has been figured out on here already, but we are working on a large project and our door schedule is going to be quite large and will need to be split between two sheets. does anyone know of a way to hide a partial schedule on one sheet and show it on another. since you can place one schedule on multiple sheets, there should be a way to do this i would think.

The only way I know how would be to make two different schedules. You can filter each one via the Type Mark using Less-Than and Greater-Than filters.

We need put schedule on multiple sheets too. Is that bug fixed in 2010?

The above method of making two schedules and using Filters works well. I even keep a third schedule called "All" for making changes to everything on the fly...

It's not really a bug. It's just the way the program works.

I think you should also be able to just split the schedule into 2 pieces, and have one piece or the other piece off the sheet in each sheet view. Printing should only print the title block and what's inside it if the print settings are correct.

Now we have only 2 or 3 sheets, but imagine if you will be forced to split schedule on 5 or more sheets...

To amplify Aaron's comments, I don't Believe that Autodesk feels that schedules are broken, or a "bug" that you cannot spread a schedule across multiple sheets. One of the Filters can be (depending upon how you created your fields) a way of cutting off door numbers in a schedule. I usually filter by Level first, and if one floor is still too large, then I filter on a second parameter to breake that schedule across two sheets.

FWIW, i did a project recently that had a Door schedule that took 4 sheets, which also had the doors spread across 7 files.

It really doesnt take long to do. You just keep duplicating the schedule and changing the value of the filters.

Its not like you have to maintain the fidelity of the information, its doing all of that for you.

The only caveat is making sure the formatting and fields you use are set up before you make the copies of the schedules.... But since all of that is handled in our template, its a no brainer.

I wouldnt mind being able to split it and remove the "portion" from the sheet though, that could work nicely. The could be just like dependant views, only the "crop region" is the bounding box for the size on the sheet. They could even list as dependant views in the Project browser, for all i care.

But honestly, i wouldnt even want the Factory to bother with it, unless they could achive it in a week or less. Too many other more pressing things. :)

For those interested in printing long Revit schedules, or exporting a professional looking schedule in PDF or WORD directly from Revit, please have a look on this software: Archigrafix Reports. The tool allows to split the schedule in multiple pages.
