I am new to the Revit schedules. I am using Revit MEP 2009. I was going to start with a diffuser/grille schedule. The way that we have always done this in cad is to tag the diffuser on the drawing 'A' for instance, followed by the size and CFM, then on the schedule you would have the 'A' followed by Make, Manufacturer, T-bar.... ect. Basically the "Tag" size and flow were on the drawing and all the specifics were in the schedule. I have found a way to make my own schedule categories such as the ones listed above, but when I tag things on the drawing, it interferes with my schedule. Is there anyway to make the schedule and drawing 2 separate things that don't associate with each other? I know that it is better revit's way, that way you only change things once, but this is kind of a strange job that would just be easier if they were separate.

You can make a schedule key. Its an option you have when you are creating a schedule. Look for a check box on the left side of the "new schedule" dialogue box. all this is really is a schedule that you can manually fill in but it will also relate back to the objects in your project if you want.

First - I think you are wrong... do it Revit's way is better - your way will bite you in the end.

 

OK - that said ... When you create your schedule, add new parameters rather than the ones that come with your model elements.  The only thing you will want to use will be the mark.  Now say you need a manufacturer field but there is one in the elemnt but wrong ... just use a different name when you create your schedule ... lets say "my manufacturer".  Re-title the column to manufacturer so it shows correctlyand continue with the rest of what you need.
