Creating column offsets

“

- You're about to find out that revit keeps track of everything. Remember that column offset we just did, Revit seems to know exactly what you're doing. What I want to do here is explore just how revit creates a column schedule. So to do that, let's jump into structure 9. Because we've added a grid and then we've added columns. We're able to now create a column schedule. Let's go to the view tab. There's a little dropdown here that says schedules. Let's hit that pull down and let's select graphical column schedule and it produces it pretty quickly. We zoom into here. We'll see now that we've got level one: zero, if we have any offsets it's going to show up here and here's our grid intersections. Here's the columns here with our offset that much more to it than this, is that roof level. What we can do too, is if we zoom in on a column and check it out, we select it. It's an actual column. It doesn't add this column to our total but it's a physical, actual account. So therefore it's going to behave with our visual style, right? So if we select detail level fine it's going to show up fine. Of course, realistic. It's going to look realistic in account schedule, definitely we're not going to do that but I just wanted to illustrate the fact that it will behave like we're in a regular model. So if I select this and go back to course, now what we can do is we can go ahead and we can physically tag that talent, says horizontal let's uncheck leader if we hover over a column, let's select vertical right here. And we can actually physically tag that, so I can move this out of the way we can tag each of our columns, so if this column (A-1) where the change is something else in our model ,this count schedule will be updated appropriately. There's this a couple of things I want to look at, let's scroll down until we find, material types. So when we do foundations, we want to put the piers in the pilot casters in as concrete columns but we don't want them to show up here. So under material types, let's click edit let's click check: none, and I only want steel to show up. Let's click: Okay. Hidden levels, we can actually hide a level. So for example, if we did bring in the parapet level we could have hidden that. I don't want to hide type of footing just in case one of these columns needs to go down farther. Click: Okay. Let's scroll up to text appearance where it says, edit Tittle text: Arial 3/32". That's good. I just want to bold that one. I like 0.8 for the Width factor on everything. Just cause it looks nicer. Great appearance. We can change all these Heights to me it looks pretty good now. So click: Okay. Everything else looks okay to me. There you go. That's how you make a column schedule.
