This supposes that you >don't care about individula room areas within the unit. Well, that's exactly what we can't do. we need in each room just placed square meters and then total of each unit. Client needs and wants it and we understand it. Furthermore once placed, defined rooms will be used in later design stages... I thought I could do it via schedule, so that near unit is only label with name of the unit (manually entered), and then above sheet titleblock table with just the totals, but no. Revit can't hide the inidividual room listings in the schedule and show only subtotals. I can't fit the whole schedule with all of the rooms on one A3 (not counting the fact that it is nor desirable nor needed to read 300 nameless room listing in study phase). wish #1 "query tag" with enanced string and arithmetic manipulation in formulas, maybe some scripting language. query tag should be able to extract info from whole database or selected entities. wish #2 more powerfull schedules, something like sql maybe combined with some scripting langage. ability to extract from whole database or selected entities. >Department/Unit/Zone Well, maybe that this could' be default, but one should be able to place its' own parameters but what is more important, to be able to extract them. That is what is Revit unable as it seems to me. Extract wisely the information entered in the project, or provide the user means to extract it. Thanks for help, Frantisek Stafek.
