How can I make Revit Schedules look the way I’d like them to look?  I hear this question a lot.  In Revit 2014 there are a couple new options. You’ve been able to change the font in past versions, but now you can now add an image in a schedule, and shading of columns is also possible.  I’ve listed a couple How To’s for you to try.

To shade a column in a schedule:

  1. Open your schedule for editing, select the column header, and a new panel on the toolbar will appear.

     
  2. Select shading and the color, and that color will be added to the column.

*this would be ideal for schedule with a lot of columns making it easier to read.

Another Option is adding an image to your schedule. 

  1. Open your schedule and go to properties.  Select Edit Fields in your Properties and another window will open up.

     
  2. In this window under Available Fields select the Image parameter and Add it to Scheduled Fields. Select OK.

 

  1. Now the Image column has been added to your schedule.  

     
  2. Select in the Image Field and you will see a little box.  Select the box to add your image.
     
  3. Another window will pop up.  Select Add, choose your image and select OK. Select OK again to add it to schedule.

     
  4. In the schedule you can see the image name that you just added but you cannot see the image until you put it on a sheet.

     
  5. Create a new sheet and drag schedule onto the sheet.  You will now be able to see the image in the schedule.
