Revit Architecture automatically fills in the Key name. This is the name that appears among the

5 In the Schedule Properties dialog, add the predefined fields for the style. For example, add ceiling
finish, floor finish, and wall finish.
6 Click OK.
The key schedule opens.
7 On the Options Bar, click New to add rows to the table. Each row creates a new value for the
key. For example, if you are creating a room key schedule, you can create key values for executive
conference room, small conference room, large conference room, executive office, standard
office, and so on.
8 Fill in the appropriate information for each of the key values.
Applying a Key to an Element

view.
2 Click .
3 In the Element Properties dialog, find the key name (for example, Room Style).
4 Select a value for the property from the list.
When you apply the new style, read-only properties appear in the list of instance parameters.
These are the properties defined in the key schedule.
Applying the Key to a Component Schedule
1 Create a schedule for the appropriate element (such as a room schedule).
2 Include in the scheduled fields the key name you created. For example, if you created a key
name called Room Style, add this key to the schedule.
3 In the schedule, select values for the newly added key. For example, if the key is called Room
Style, you add values for it by selecting them from the menus that appear under the key heading.
Scheduled fields update automatically with the information you define in the key schedule. If
you edit and modify any values in the key schedule, they update automatically in the component
schedule.
When you apply a key value to a schedule row, you cannot modify any fields defined in the
key schedule.
