i am new with revit. but trying to get things work for me. i need help on how my calculations will appear on the schedule.i am working on making a schedule for area calculations for a huge industrail site plan.  i went to the room and area and with the help of area boundaries i calculated the bldg areas and parking areas. gave them specific names according to the bldgs.

for example bldg square footage is tagged as A and parking in building A is tagged as PA. what i want to achieve in the schedule is a total of bldg area, site area, parking areas and then calculate a percentage of coverage in relationship to site area. when i made a new schedule..i added parameters that i need and also gave them calculated values. but i dont understand how the squarefootages i calculated in the plan will show up on my schedule.

for exmaple when i tagged all the parking..and made parking scedule...it gave me a total count of parking spaces.

why is it not working with my squarefootages.

also i am trying to make the schedule look like this (the foll are the headers)

bldg names    bldg areas   site area    auto parking     trailer parking    bldg coverage    impervious coverage

 is there a way to get parking count and squarefooatges in one scedule.

i need help on how i should go abt this...thank you in advance

When creating new parameters in schedules and you want them to "calculate totals" always remember to go into your view properties of the schedule and click on the formatting tab.  Then select the appropriate parameters and "calculate totals".

You would be better off aligning your parking schedule on the sheet next to your area schedule this way all the data is still automatic.
