Creating a sheet list in Revit is a simple process that helps you manage and organize the sheets within your project. A sheet list, also known as a sheet index, is a schedule that displays information about each sheet, such as sheet number, sheet name, and revision.
Steps to Create a Sheet List
You can easily create a new sheet list directly within your Revit project environment. The process involves accessing the schedules and quantities tools and selecting the Sheet List option.
Based on the provided reference, here are the steps:
- Open Your Project: Ensure the Revit project where you want to create the sheet list is open.
- Navigate to the View Tab: In the Revit ribbon, click on the View tab.
- Access the Create Panel: Within the View tab, locate the Create panel.
- Open Schedules Drop-down: In the Create panel, find the Schedules drop-down menu.
- Select Sheet List: From the Schedules drop-down menu, click on (Sheet List).
- This action opens the Sheet List Properties dialog box.
- Select Fields: On the Fields tab of the Sheet List Properties dialog, you will see a list of available fields on the left. Select the fields you want to include in your sheet list (e.g., Sheet Number, Sheet Name, Current Revision). Use the Add button to move them to the "Scheduled Fields" list on the right.
- (Optional) Add Parameters: To include user-defined information in your sheet list, click the Add Parameter button on the Fields tab. This allows you to create new project parameters that can be added to sheets and subsequently displayed in your sheet list.
Once you have selected your desired fields and optionally added parameters, click OK in the Sheet List Properties dialog. The new sheet list will be created and added to the Schedules/Quantities section in your Project Browser. You can then place this sheet list schedule onto a sheet like any other view.
Understanding Sheet List Properties
When creating or modifying a sheet list, the Properties dialog offers several tabs beyond just Fields:
- Filter: Control which sheets appear in the list based on parameter values.
- Sorting/Grouping: Organize the list (e.g., by Sheet Number) and add headers, footers, or blank lines.
- Formatting: Customize the appearance of individual fields, such as alignment and heading text.
- Appearance: Control the overall look of the schedule on a sheet, including grid lines, text styles, and title formatting.
Using these properties allows you to tailor the sheet list precisely to your project's needs and documentation standards.
Common Fields for Sheet Lists
Here are some frequently used fields you might include in a sheet list:
- Sheet Number
- Sheet Name
- Current Revision
- Current Revision Date
- Checked By
- Designed By
- Issued By
- Drawn By
- (Custom Project Parameters)
By carefully selecting and arranging these fields, you create a clear and informative index of your project documentation.
Creating a sheet list is an essential step in managing project documentation in Revit, providing a dynamic and easily updated index of all project sheets.
