Understanding Door Schedules in Revit
Door schedules in Revit are essential tools for managing and displaying data related to doors within a project. Sometimes, it becomes necessary to hide certain doors from this schedule for clarity or specific project requirements. Below are detailed steps on how to effectively hide doors in a door schedule.
Accessing the Door Schedule
To start managing your door schedule:
- Open the Project: Launch Revit and open your project where the door schedule exists.
- Navigate to Schedules: Locate the ‘Project Browser’ on the left side of the screen. Find the section labeled ‘Schedules / Quantities’.
- Select the Door Schedule: Double-click on the door schedule you wish to edit. This opens the schedule view on your workspace.
How to Hide Specific Doors
Once the door schedule is open, follow these steps to hide specific doors:
Identify the Rows: Look through the schedule and identify the doors you want to hide. Take note of the rows corresponding to these doors.
Select Rows for Hiding: Click to select one or more rows that represent the doors you wish to hide in the schedule. You can do this by clicking on the row number.
Deleting Rows: After selecting the desired rows, right-click to bring up the context menu. Choose the option ‘Delete Row’ to remove these entries from the schedule.
Hiding Columns: If your goal is to hide particular information rather than deleting the entire row, select the header of the column you wish to hide. Right-click and choose ‘Hide Columns’ to remove that column from the view.
- Using Filters for Complex Needs: For more nuanced filtering, utilize the ‘Filter’ tab in the Schedule Properties dialog. Here, you can set specific criteria to ensure that only the desired doors are visible. Create a new filter and establish rules that exclude certain doors based on their parameters, such as type, mark, or any custom field.
Review Your Changes
After making modifications to the schedule:
Check the Schedule: Review the updated door schedule in your view to ensure that the right doors are hidden.
- Save Changes: Once satisfied with the adjustments, remember to save your project to keep the changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the data of the hidden doors in the schedule?
Hiding a door in a schedule does not delete its data from the project. The door will still exist in the model and can be easily referenced in other views or schedules.
Can I unhide doors that I have previously hidden?
Yes, you can unhide doors by re-opening the door schedule, selecting the hidden rows or columns, and using the ‘Show Hidden Rows’ or ‘Show Columns’ option.
Is it possible to hide doors in other views besides schedules?
Absolutely. Revit allows you to hide doors in other views, including floor plans and 3D views, by selecting the door and using the ‘Hide in View’ option from the right-click context menu.
