Import schedules and key schedules

Import commands

With the help of the commands "Import schedule" or "Import key schedule" you can import already existing schedules  from Revit to Tables. Both, the parameters and the set structure of the schedule (filter, sorting and grouping, etc.) are taken into account.

Workflow import of a schedule

Once the schedule is imported, the values can be edited and written back to the Revit model using the "Apply" command.

Workflow – „import schedule“:

1. Select the cell with which you want your schedule to start (the selected cell defines the insertion position of the upper left corners of your Tables xlsx table)
2. Click the command "Import schedule" ("Revit" Ribbon, panel "schedule")
3. Select your schedule
4. Confirm the selection dialog with OK – Done!

Note: Unfortunately, calculated and connected parameters cannot be imported at the moment. However, you can use Tables' own command "Calculated parameters"
(see all information below)

Clicking on the small arrow on the right side of the command opens a drop-down menu for importing lists.

Workflow – "import key list":

1. Select the cell with which you want to start your schedule (the selected cell defines the insertion position of the upper left corner of your Tables xlsx table).
2. Click on the small arrow on the right side of the command "Import schedule" ("Revit" Ribbon, panel "schedule")
3. Select from the drop-down menu the command "Key schedule"
4. Select your key schedule
5. Confirm the selection dialog with OK – Done!

Key schedules can be extended directly in tables by simply adding new rows with your information (see also screencast "Keyschedule Management" on our Youtube channel).

Note: If you make changes to the structure of the imported table in Tables (e.g. by adding more parameters) only the changed parameter values are written back into the model. Currently you can not change the structure of the Revit schedules with Tables.

Like with schedules and key schedules, you can also transfer an existing list of materials into Tables.
