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.
Material Takeoff Schedules
Material takeoff schedules list the sub-components or materials of any Revit Architecture family. Material
takeoff schedules have all the functionality and characteristics of other schedule views, but they allow you
to show more detail about the assembly of a component. Any material that is placed in a component within
Revit Architecture can be scheduled.
