Earlier this month I mentioned that we can create schedules for grids and levels. Those two categories are just a few of the categories that a schedule can see now. In addition to new categories we can also include the parameters “Phase Created” and “Phase Demolished” in our schedules of model elements.

In my griping about schedules in my previous post I mentioned (in an addendum) that we get a new feature in Revit 2014 that provides some measure of control over column width.

One of the more subtle things that the new schedule features allow in Revit 2014 is creating a table of data that may not be tied directly to elements within the model. Now we can do this, all within the schedule header itself (notice I used Comic Sans?). of Subtle Revit 2014'

A few years ago (Aug 08) I wrote a post that explained how to break the relationship between a schedule''s name and its header. With Revit 2014 that approach is no longer necessary. Now the schedule header can be something else and the name we see in the Project Browser can be something else.

We can schedule elements that are in linked files but there isn''t a schedule that is only interested in telling us what linked files there are. We can determine which files are linked easily enough while working inside Revit. We can take advantage of the addition of Grids and Levels as elements we can schedule in Revit 2014.
