Organizing a Sheet List

If you want the sheets in a sheet list to display in a particular order, you can create a custom Sheet Order parameter and add it to the sheet list properties.

The following procedure assumes that you have created a sheet list and added multiple sheets to the project. See Creating a Sheet List and Adding a Sheet.

To organize a sheet list

1. Open the sheet list.
2. In the Project Browser, under Schedules/Quantities, click the sheet list name.
3. On the Properties palette, for Fields, click Edit.
4. Add a custom field named Sheet Order, as follows:
   1. On the Fields tab of the Sheet List Properties dialog, click Add Parameter.
   2. In the Parameter Properties dialog, under Parameter Type, select Project parameter.
   3. Under Parameter Data, for Name, enter Sheet Order.
   4. Click OK.

   On the Sheet List Properties dialog, the Sheet Order field displays in the list of scheduled fields.

5. Use the Sheet Order field to sort the sheet list, as follows:
   1. Click the Sorting/Grouping tab.
   2. For Sort by, select Sheet Order. Make sure that Ascending is selected.
   3. Click OK.

   The sheet list displays a column titled Sheet Order. In a later step, you will hide this column so it does not display in the sheet list. First, however, you must assign a sheet order to each sheet in the list.

6. For each sheet in the list, click in the Sheet Order column, and enter a number to indicate its order in the sheet sequence.

   As you enter sheet order numbers, Revit re-sorts the list to place the rows in order.

You can place the sheet list on a sheet and format it as desired. See Adding a Schedule to a Sheet and Formatting a Schedule on a Sheet.
