    Post-bid Finish Schedules

    Alright, here is what I am looking for, and can't for the life of me figure out a "good" way to do this: We want a finish schedule for our projects. I'm not talking a room finish schedule, that'd be too easy. What we want is a total finish schedule, flooring, tile, plastic laminate, paint, etc. and the mfr info, color name, color number, etc. So my question is how do I do this? For the last project I needed it immediately so I created a flooring schedule with fake floors in an area that wasn't part of the project. Each floor had a type mark that was made to coincide with the original finish so that it would appear correct in the schedule.

    However, I don't want to do that in the future because I really don't want misc. floors strewn around in the model. But I can't think of a way to accomplish this outside of putting it in excel, which really doesn't help because then I can't get it back on the sheet in a good way.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

    Material schedule sounds like what you need.

        On second thought. That may not be what I want. I almost think I want something dumb. When I pulled that up its pulling all the info from the materials in the entire project. It seems like it may be more work to sort through it than to do what I need it to do.

        Has anyone done what I am talking about? How do you handle your color selections during construction?

          A type schedule (floor / wall / ceiling) or a material schedule should work for what you need. A material schedule will pick up painted surfaces (split-face / paint) where a type schedule wont (that I know of) but the whole point of the model (IMO) is to have it be accurate to what is being built - including things like floor finishes.

            The Material Take Off schedule (as Chad Pointed out) is the way to do it. You just need to filter it so only the materials you consider *finishes* are in it. Then you need to account for the things that dont show up in a Revit MTO (Wall Sweeps, etc).
