Revit – Renaming Schedules

By Garry Stockton

Did you know you can easily give a Revit schedule any view name that you want and have a different title appear at the top of the schedule on a sheet? 

By default, the View Name parameter in the Properties of the schedule will appear as the title for the schedule.  You can edit the title to be what you desire, regardless of the view name.  This allows you to name the schedule whatever you desire to aid with project browser organisation and provide a good description of the schedule’s purpose.

With the schedule view open, place your cursor in the title portion of the schedule (<Pipe schedule> in the example below).

Go to the Title & Headers panel of the menu and select the Clear Cell command.  This will completely clear any text from the cell so that the title no longer exists, and the cell is blank.

You can now start typing any text in that cell as the new title for the schedule.
