Revit Detail Table Setup Tutorial
The fields in a detail table are defined through instance parameters and type parameters. When adding parameters, it is crucial to understand the difference between instance and type parameters and select the appropriate one accordingly.
The “Calculate Value” button opens a dialog where you can create formulas using existing parameters. The result of these formulas becomes a new parameter value.
The “Add Parameters” button allows you to add various parameters, including Project Parameters and Shared Parameters, which apply to the current schedule and category.
Family Parameters are parameters that cannot be directly included in schedules. To have them appear as available fields in a schedule, they must be created within the family first. Shared parameters also fall under this category.
How to Add Fields to the Detail Table
1. Select existing available fields carefully.
For example, choose fields like “Width” or “Hole Width”.
You can either double-click the field name or click “Add” to include the field in the detail table. Afterward, go to “Format” to edit the field title as needed.
2. Add project parameters to the detail schedule as required.
3. Add shared parameters to the detail table.
There are two methods for this:
- Method 1: Add shared parameters directly within the field dialog box of the window detail table.
- Method 2: When creating a window family, add parameters and select shared parameters during setup.
4. Use calculated values to add parameters to the detail table.
Calculated values can be created using formulas or fixed inputs. When setting these up, make sure to select the calculation type based on the unit of the resulting value.
