Making a Basic Schedule

So we're gonna start up a nothing up my sleeve new project. So fam not family. Muscle memory from yesterday. So file, new project, and I'm just gonna create a systems template project. So it's totally blank, And I'm gonna come back to the to what basically, we did yesterday. Remember we made these magic boxes? So here I have my magic box. I'm gonna type session one. I'm just gonna copy that into this project so I've got something to work with. So here we go.

I have my I have my magic box. There are no shared parameters associated with it. And let's say that I want this box to represent an exhaust fan, and I want an exhaust fan schedule. So what how would I how would I approach that? You know, I'm on a I'm on a desert island, and I've just got an out of the box Revit install, no Internet, and I've got to make some schedules in order to get rescued. What do I do? So what I would do is I would I would come to edit family. We'll do a quick save as, so we call it an exhaust fan. It's family. Magic.

Quick. EF. Session two. So we know what it is in project one. Alright. So magic box, but this one is our magic exhaust fan. Okay. So we want so we wanna we wanna schedule this. We wanna, you know, have CFM. We wanna have stat pressure. We wanna have model manufacturer, weight, voltage, all that sort of stuff. Right? So how do we do that? Well, if we come down to we come down to schedules, those are some out of the box things that we're not gonna use, so we can just delete those. So we say, alright.

We want a new schedule. So right click schedule, new schedule, and I've gotta pick a category of equipment. So I'm gonna pick mechanical equipment. And I can type in the name that I that I want for it, so I can I can say exhaust exhaust fan schedule? And then you can also choose the phase, so you can have existing versus new construction phases for your schedule.

And so now it's asking me, okay, which which parameters do you want to load into this project? And pretty much so these are these are all of the built in parameters. These are my options to date. So I'm gonna throw in a couple just so you can see what's going on here. So Mark is the out of the box, like, the tag is gonna say, and then I could also put in something that would be interesting.

This is often a useful thing to do is I would I put in the family and the type parameters. I I never show them on, like, a schedule that's going on a sheet, but sometimes they're useful for management. So I'm gonna do that. I don't have anything else to add. There's definitely you can see there's no parameter here for exhaust fan CFM or external static pressure or whatever, so that's what I'm gonna have to create. Right? And so we start out now. We've got we've got our schedule. And I'm gonna keep the family and type columns in here for a while just so I can keep things straight, and now we have we have our mark. And so if if I hit t g to tag this, the out of the box tag reads the mark the mark parameter.

So here we go. Mark. I could call this e f dash one, and that's what that's gonna say. Take that leader off there. It's gonna bother me. Alright?
