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.
NOTE When Revit Architecturecomputes the volume of materials for individual layers within a wall, some
approximations are made to maintain performance. Minor discrepancies might appear between volumes visible
in the model and those shown in the material takeoff schedule. These discrepancies tend to occur when you use
the wall sweep tool to add a sweep or a reveal to a wall or under certain join conditions.

Creating a Material Takeoff Schedule

1 Click View menu
2 In the Material Takeoff dialog, click a category for the material takeoff schedule, and click OK.
3 In the Material Takeoff Properties dialog, for Available Fields, select the material attributes.
4 Optionally, sort and group, or format the schedule. See
5 Click OK to create the material takeoff schedule.
The material takeoff schedule displays, and the view is listed in the Project Browser under Schedules/Quantities.

Annotation Schedules (Note Blocks)

Annotation schedules, or note blocks, list all instances of annotations that you can add using the Symbol
command. See
Note blocks are useful for listing notes that are applied to elements in your project. For example, you might
want to attach a note to several walls, and that note might have a building description for each of the walls.
