Figure 21 Import Commands

You can use the command "Import part list" or "Import key list"to import existing schedules into Revit after tables. Both the parameters and the set structure of the schedule list (filter, sorting and grouping, etc.) will be taken into consideration.

Once the schedule imported, the values can be edited and written back to the Revit model using the "Apply" command.

Import Part List workflow:

1. Select the cell that you want your schedule to start with (the selected cell defines the insertion position of the upper, left corners of your tables – xlsx table)

2. Click the command "Import part listn" ("Revit" Ribbon, Panel "Part Lists")

3. Select your componentlist and

4. Confirm the selection dialog with OK.Done!

Note: Calculated and connected parameters cannot be imported at this time.

However, you can use the table's own command "Calculated Parameters" (see below).

If you click on the small arrow at the right edge of the command, a drop-down menu for importing key lists will open.

Key lists can be extended directly in tables, in which you simply add new lines with your information (also see Screencast "Key schedule Management" in our YouTube channel).

Advice: If you make changes to the structure of the imported table in Tables– for example, by adding additional parameters, only the changed parameter values are written back to the model, you can’t change the structure of the Revit part list at this time with Tables.
