i don't think you can just schedule shaft and roof openings directly from the model. Two work-arounds...
1. Create a generic model detailing component for placement over the shaft openings with shared paramters.
2. Create in-place floor families (use voids and cut multiple slabs) for each opening, and add instance-based shared parameters as needed for scheduling. The voids will be calculated in the area and volumes of the slabs they cut as well.
Make sense?

Hi Eric,
Sorry, for the late reply, I am intermittently on the forums. Yes, I have tested both methods.
Let me go over the two methdos in a little more detail.
Generic Model as Detailing Component.
You have two options here:
a. Create a floor-based generic model with a detail-component built into it.
b. Create a generic model AS a detail-component
The difference between the two is simple, and their use is based upon their intended functionality. For option a, you would create a floor-based generic model which will actually cut the opening on each level. You will not use the shaft opening tool in order to do this. You can mimic shaft-opening functionality with reference planes, and constraining your openings to these reference planes. However, your schedule will generate a single instance for each opening in your schedule. How you solve this issue will be up to you...meaning user-preference. You can use filters and grouping to do so. Either way, if you properly constrain all of your openings to the reference planes, you will have parametric behavior.
Now, if you use option b, the goal would be to create a single schedulable detail-component for each shaft opening. This is not something you would want to use on a level-by-level basis (non-shaft openings), and here is the reason why: you will be using a work-around in order to make the graphic visible on each level. The generic model will have a model line (invisible) runing through all the levels it is cutting. That way, Revit 'cuts' through the generic model at each level. Everywhere it cuts, you get your graphic.
As for the other option, you will have a lot more freedom in terms of opening form. Basically, you just need to generate a single in-place family for each shaft opening, and name the family something meaningful (Shaft A or something) so that you can easily find it in your schedule. In order to schedule it, you just need to create a floor schedule, and filter by family name.
I hope that was a little more clear. Let me know if it wasn't.
