Some data fields are stored in the but not readily accessible. This tutorial demonstrates one method of making data more accessible. In this tutorial, use the NTM Structural model in Revit to determine the SF of fireproofing needed for the project. If the Type Properties are examined, the bf (bottom flange width) d (depth of the w flange) are contained for the object, however, when a schedule is created this data is not available. This tutorial goes through a process of how to make this data available in a schedule. For this tutorial, use the NTM-Structural 2016.rvt file found at: CFM 411 Winter 2016\Projects\NTM. On the open window, be sure to Detach from Central. When opening the model, Detach it from the Central model and Discard the Worksets. You will essentially go through this tutorial 2 times. Once to make the parameters available for the beams and then once to make the parameters available for the columns. Creating the Schedules Schedules are a means to get a list of materials contained in the Revit model in a tabular/ table format that can be exported to programs like Excel. A schedule for Structural Framing and for Structural Columns need to be created. Let’s start with Structural Framing. On the View Ribbon, from the Create section select Schedules, Schedule/Quantity. On the Filter List dropdown, select Structure. On the New Schedule window, change the name to Fireproofing select Structural Framing (the second time through select Structural Columns) and also select New Shell under Phase. OK. Add the Family and Type and Length fields. When scrolling up and down the Available fields, it is impossible to calculate the surface area of the and columns that need to be fireproofed because the bf (base flange width) and d (depth) fields are missing. Therefore the following steps need to be followed to make these fields accessible. The schedule will be completed later in the tutorial. Press OK. Selecting an object Select the 3D view of the project.
