What should be done for improving the quality of schedules or to modify them? Schedules are very important for accomplishing any task and same applies to execution of construction projects which cannot be completed effectively without the support of proper schedules. Depending upon the requirement, architects and engineers can make huge changes on schedules by editing them. That means changes can be made to schedules if changes are made to the project. Generally two different kinds of schedules are developed by AEC professionals, which include standard schedules and graphical column schedules. Graphical column schedules can be defined as visual schedules which cannot be edited by AEC professionals when compared to standard schedules. Revit is incredible or astounding software, which not only helps in developing 3D models but is also utilized for developing high-end schedules. Things which can be done for improving schedules

• When schedules are developed in Revit, AEC professionals can easily change a

parameter.

• For adding or changing a parameter they have to make use of parameters panel.

• So in order to change a parameter, Revit users have to select a cell, then a category and finally the parameter under Parameters Panel.

• Revit users can also eliminate a parameter from a title cell. For doing so users have to click Clear Cell after selecting the required cell.

• For creating a parameter in order to include in the schedule users are required to use Project parameters dialog.

• When it comes to formatting the unit of measure users are required to click Format Unit.

• Users can easily add new columns to schedules and for doing that they have to approach columns panel and then click Insert.

• Once Insert is clicked, the Select Fields dialog opens up. With its assistance fresh schedule filed can be included in the schedule by users.

In this way various things can be done by users for enhancing the quality of schedules.
