Hi, I'm trying (and failing) to set up our standard revision schedule in Revit. We have a row at the top showing the initials of who did the changed, checked and approved and then a row below for the text. Also, can I have a line only at the top? See attached picture. Can this be achieved in Revit? The problem I have is that if I have to fit it into one row the initials take up too much space leaving the text is one long narrow column.

Sorry but at this time, schedules in Revit are limited to one row per record but the data in any column can span multiple rows.

Sorry - I don't understand what you mean by "data in any column can span multiple rows" - can you please explain...

I see. It actually does that at the moment. Thanks for your help anyway!

You really need to do this as part of your titleblock with tags attached that are specific widths and parameters set up and associated with "Project Parameters". Did you make this as some sort of component?

No - I copied the revision block from one of the out of the box titleblocks - was that the right thing to do?

I have never used them, but it seems clunky to me. You want to look into a shared parameters file. Then you can set up parameters, linked with "Project Information" so that in your Manage Tab you click Project Information and you can just fill in things like the latest revision, revision description 1, drawn by etc. Go down that track (if you can be bothered and ask me when you get stuck on something. It is a tricky process creating your titleblock family, but it is so worth it!!!

Ive set up the titleblocks and added some shared parameters - all looks well (I think) So if you don't use the OOTB revision schedule - what do you use? The OOTB is just a basic schedule (I beleive)

The OTOB Revision schedule is not just a schedule and it is the only tool that works with OTOB revision clouds. Sometimes we have to adapt to what is available. We all should be familiar with that because most of our "standards" were adapted to what we could do in CAD.
