I am attempting to create tables for my special inspection requirements.  I have had some success by using schedule keys.  I have attached a pdf of what I am trying to do.  I can get the headings correct by using the grouping functions.  What I have not figured out is how to group the rows.  The “code or standard reference” and “remarks” columns should cover multiple row line items.   Is there any way to do this in Revit?

As with any program, you have to adapth your expectations to the limits of the program.  Revit is not excel and can not do what excel does.  And it isn't CAD.  In CAD - most or all of this would be text and you could do that here.  But Revit does a great job of reporting content, you just have to adapt your wants to how you can display that information.  In this case:

  1. Your headers look like they will work except you can not have two rows in the title.  If you have to have tis, you could add some of it in "paper space"
  2. The "code or standard reference" column can not be combined across record rows so this will be repeated for each row.
  3. The row information will not be centered vertically in the cell as you show it in the first two and "periodic" columns.
  4. Your major -sorts, such as "Smoke Control Systesms" should be a parameter that is in a seperate column that is turned off but used in your sort heading.  It would be your first column and will show on the left instead of centered as you show it.

Thanks for the reply.Here is what I have come up with so far.  The main problem I am having is how to make the “remarks” column.  There are comments that apply to a group of inspections and have too much text to include on each line item.  The only way I have thought of to do this is by using foot notes, but that is messy.

You could use a foot-note:  See Note A below.

 

And obviously - that would be text - not in the schedule.
