2.AIM

To prepare a schedule for the given elements using Revit.

INTRODUCTION

• A schedule is a tabular display of information, extracted from the properties of the elements in a project
• A schedule can list every Instance of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple instances onto a single row, based on the schedule grouping criteria.
• You can create a schedule at any point in the design process.
• As you make changes to the model that affect the schedule, it automatically updates to reflect those changes.
• You can add a schedule to a drawing sheet
• You can export a schedule to another software program, such as a spreadsheet program.

PROCEDURE

• Next the Material takeoff properties tab will be displayed as shown below.
• Next, we need to select the scheduled fields in order and click ok
• Next the Wall Material takeoff tab will be displayed, as shown in the below figure.

RESULT

The schedules for the walls, doors, windows and concrete materials have been created successfully.

3.AIM
