I have a complex floor tile pattern on a retail project, and I want to be able to schedule the amount of tiles on the job. (Rather than counting them one by one). Ideally I'd like to generate a schedule like this:
1'X1' Tiles: 241
1'X2' Tiles: 138
2'X2' Tiles: 46
I know I could make each tile a separate floor, but before I do that I want to know if anyone knows of a more nimble practice for doing this? Thanks

I would do an equation on a material take off the uses the surface area of the tile and quantifies it by the size of the tiles.
like a 1x1 would be something like - Material: Area/Tile Size (tile size being 12"x12")

There are artistically placed 2X1 and 2X2 tiles throughout the floor, so an equation based on surface area is out of the question

Well, if "they are artistically placed", how did you do that? Obviously Revit will not interpret linework! If you used model elements then they would schedule so we can assume you just drew lines.
Create a family that is just a circle with different type paramters and place that appropriately in each tile. Use a workset that will turn these off in play views and then schedule these.

I have attached the floor design. It is currently modeled as two floors. One for the special tiles, and one for the more regular pattern. A surface pattern is applied to the larger floor as shown. This method is the simplest, but it will not allow the individual tiles to be scheduled. Once again Ill ask my question in the simplest way I can:
Short of modeling each and every tile as a separate floor, is there a way I can schedule tile quantities?

I read your post, and I don't think modeling circles and managing worksets is a better solution than just modeling out each floor tile.

Personally, I think a simple 2D, generic family, circle is easier to do that modeling several different shapes....
But you know better than me and I don't want tohinder your thought process.

you can easily embed those tile typess into your overall floor, then do a material take off like i said. thats like revit calculation 101. probably some of the easiest one i have ever heard of. you can also use split surface and paint materials. I use both these methods for masonry
