To insert a data row in a Revit schedule, you typically use a specific command available while working within the schedule view.
Inserting a data row in Revit allows you to manually add information to a schedule, which is particularly useful for schedules that are not strictly linked to model elements, such as keynote schedules, revision schedules, or some custom schedules.
Here's how to perform this action:
Steps to Insert a Data Row in a Schedule
Adding a new row is a straightforward process once you are in the schedule view:
- Access the Schedule: Open the schedule you want to modify from the Project Browser.
- Select a Cell: select any cell within the schedule view. This activates the schedule modification tools in the ribbon.
- Find the Command: Locate the Rows panel in the Ribbon.
- Insert the Row: Click (Insert Data Row) from the Rows panel.
- Result: The new row displays at the bottom of the schedule.
- Next Step: Enter values as desired into the cells of the newly added row.
This process is specifically for inserting rows that are not tied to model elements. For example, you cannot insert a "data row" directly into a Door Schedule if you want to represent a new door; that would require placing a new door element in the model. However, for schedules like a Sheet List or a Schedule Key, inserting data rows is a common operation.
Practical Tip
When inserting data rows, remember that they are independent of model elements. Any data you enter into these rows must be managed manually within the schedule itself. Use these types of rows for non-geometric information or for schedules designed purely for data entry.
Here's a quick summary table:
| Step | Action | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Preparation | Open the desired schedule. | Project Browser |
| 2. Selection | Select any cell within the schedule. | Schedule View |
| 3. Command | Click 'Insert Data Row'. | Rows Panel |
| 4. Data Entry | Enter information into the new row. | Schedule View |
Following these steps will successfully add a data row to your Revit schedule, ready for you to input your information.
