Quantity groups in quantity tables from Revit are obtained based on a classification and organisation process depending on the contents of the comments of the quantity lines making up each quantities table.
To organise and simplify the information extracted from the quantities of Revit, a series of options have been designed, which can be accessed by pressing the “Comments composition for quantities table” button in the “Types or Materials” selection zone or from the quantities table configuration zone.
These options are:
- Group header (column G)
Allows for groups to be created in the quantities table. In other words, group quantity lines depending on their comment. - Visible (Column V)
Displays the information of the “Contents” column in the quantities table. - Organise (Column O)
Arranges, in alphanumerical order, the details lines depending on their comment. - Ascending order (Column ^)
Arranges, in alphanumerical and ascending order in the table, the details lines depending on their comment. If it is not activated, they will be arranged in descending order, as long as the Organise option of column O is activated. - Visible in the material quantities (Column M)
When the measurements are made depending on the material, the comment in the quantities lines is composed of the information provided by the material element, and by the information provided by the element using the material. This way, the quantities of the material can be made visible. - Visible in “To deduct” quantity lines (Column -)
When openings are measured, the comment of the quantities lines is composed using the information provided by the element of the opening, as well as that provided by the information of the element containing the opening. This way, the quantities of the openings can be made visible.
