How to Move Rows in Revit Schedule?

Understanding Revit Schedule Rows

Revit schedules are powerful tools for organizing and displaying project data. One common requirement when working with schedules is the ability to rearrange rows to suit better clarity and organization. The following steps will guide you through the process of moving rows within a schedule in Revit.

Preparing the Schedule

1. Open Your Schedule: Start by navigating to the schedule you want to modify. This can usually be found in the Project Browser under the Schedules category.

2. Select the Schedule: Click on the name of the schedule to open it in the main view. Ensure you are viewing the data in a tabular format.

Moving Rows in Your Schedule

1. Navigate to the Desired Row: Scroll through your schedule to identify the row you wish to move.

2. Select the Row: Click on the cell of the row. Ensure that it is highlighted. If multiple rows need to be moved, hold down the Ctrl key and click on any additional rows you wish to select.

3. Drag the Row: With the row selected, move your cursor to the left edge of the row until you see a four-way arrow cursor. Press and hold the left mouse button.

4. Position the Row: Drag the row to its new location. As you move it, you will see a placeholder indicating where the row will be placed.

5. Release the Mouse Button: Once the desired location is highlighted, release the mouse button to drop the row in its new position.

Alternative Row Manipulation Method

If dragging does not suit your preference, you can also use menu options to rearrange rows.

1. Use the Context Menu: Right-click on the selected row. A context menu will appear with options.

2. Select Move Up or Move Down: Depending on where you want to position your row, choose "Move Up" or "Move Down" to adjust its placement one row at a time.

Finalizing the Changes

1. Review Changes: Once you have moved the rows, review the schedule to ensure that the layout meets your project’s requirements.

2. Save Your Schedule: Close the schedule view or switch to a different tool, making sure to save any changes if prompted.

FAQ

How do I create a new row in a schedule?
To add a new row, right-click anywhere in the schedule and select "Insert Row" or use the toolbar option for adding new rows. This will create a blank row where you can input your data.

Can I delete rows from a schedule?
Yes, you can remove rows by selecting the row and right-clicking to choose "Delete Row" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can select multiple rows and delete them simultaneously.

What happens if I move a row that contains calculated fields?
When you move a row containing calculated fields, the calculations remain intact, and the data updates based on its new positioning. Ensure that any dependencies are still valid after moving rows.
