Creating a Detailed Partition Schedule with Wall Types and Legends in Revit

Now that we have all the wall types sorted out, we can go ahead and add our partition schedule, which is going to be a legend. So view tab, legends, and then we'll get this set up. We're going to call it a partition schedule.

And make sure we have the scale set to half inch equals foot. And it's just like what we did with the graphic symbols, we're going to go ahead and add some text, I use the keyboard shortcut TX, and we'll set it to that 316 aerial. And so this will be our title.

And remember, we could just use the view title if we wanted, but I like to control this a little bit so that we have the graphics looking exactly the same on all of our different legends. And so this, to me seems like the best way to do it. I'm going to change my line type here to thin lines.

And now we can go ahead and add our different partitions. And if you recall, how we've done this in the past, we use a legend component. And that's going to be found in our annotate tab.

And we've got legend or component here. And then we've got our three different options. We'll grab legend component.

And we can pick the different thing we want. And so in our case, we want our different wall types. And so you can see we've got a bunch of different walls here.

And I'm going to go ahead and find our four and seven eighths inch non rated partition. And I want to set the host length to four feet. And then we'll change it to plan.

So it'll show horizontally. And I'll just kind of set this in and what we're doing here is we're just mocking up the first one. And then making sure we have everything the way that we want it to look.

And then we can go ahead and we can add a symbol. And this is a little tricky here, because it's not going to do exactly what we want. But we will want the wall tag to appear, kind of like what I've done here.

But I can't go in and modify that. And so I'll show you a trick to kind of fake that in, but we're going to have our, our actual tag be something we just draw. But this is going to give us a good starting point.

And so I'll go ahead and add text here to describe it. And this is going to say full height partition. And this is non rated.

So I'll put the NR there. That text is obviously way too big. So I'll change it to 332nd.

And you can kind of see we're getting to that same point that we've been at in, in previous classes. And now we're going to cheat a little bit, which is okay, because sometimes we have to, to do that to get what we want here. And so I'll go to thin lines.

And essentially, I want to draw a box that is four and a quarter by four and a quarter. And then I'm going to rotate it 45 degrees. And so you can see I've got the box here, same size as this one.

And then you've guessed it, we're just going to add some text in the middle to represent the type that's way too big. We'll go ahead and reduce that down and use the same 330 seconds type that we've been using for all the text. And so I'll just kind of slide that in there.

You'll see here, it's trying to clip because there's a mask on it. And so I'll just kind of move it around until I get to the point where it's not masking any of the edges. And that should be about centered in here.

That's pretty close right there. And of course, it'll drive me nuts if it's not perfect. So I'll be here for the next hour nudging this around.

But we get it pretty close. You can see it still clips a little bit there, but that won't be noticeable. And so I will move that to where I want it to sit, which would be about right here.

And I've effectively got the start of my template for our different wall partition type. And if you recall, when we did this in the past, we just put a bunch of text leaders here. And so text at 330 seconds.

And then we're going to have an arrow on the side, but I like to draw the text first and put my first note in. So this will be 5 over 8ths gypsum wallboard. Like that.

And then at this point, this is where I like to add the leader. Because then I can have control over the whole thing. Once I've got that set, I can go ahead and add my next note here, which will be for the insulation.

And then we'll have to call out the stud type that we have. And I believe it was 3 and 5 eighths. And then we just need to add the last note, which is our gypsum board.

And if you remember our control and drag trick, we could do that here as well. And I like to just kind of clean these up a little bit so that they're just pointing to the things that we're referencing, kind of like you see here. And let's get that a little tighter.

And I can move this a little closer as well. So those are my notes for the wall type. And you can see I've got this thing set up pretty well here.

The last thing I want to do is add a graphic for my insulation. So I'll use this insulation under the annotate. And then just kind of draw it along the center here.

And again, like we discussed with the symbols legend, this doesn't really reference anything, but that's okay because you can see when we take the thin lines off, it gets pretty thick and chunky in there. And it tends to look pretty good and easy to read. Now we just need to duplicate this for our other wall types.

And so what I'll do is I'll just select all these things here. And then we can kind of copy it down to a point here. So this will be wall type B. And this will be one hour.

And it's important to remember what designations you're giving these here because they are going to correspond back to the designations that we have in our floor plan. And so the change here is we're going to add type X to our gypsum board. And now we've got wall type A and wall type B. And then we can do the same thing, copy it down to create our wall type C. And this is going to be our shaft wall, which is rated as well.

And technically I could go in and change this to be the right wall type. You can see the reason I didn't do that is because that cut line that we created that I was boasting about being so great does kind of get in the way and it sort of messes up the graphics for our partition wall type here. And so, you know, I'll leave that up to you if that's what you want to see on here.

I think it's not a bad thing because then it does translate back. Maybe as we go through and refine graphics a little bit, we can say like that's pretty bold and in your face and we can adjust that cut pattern to be a little bit less aggressive than what we're seeing here. But same thing, you know, we've got our shaft wall, which is going to have a shaft liner and a different look to it as well.

If I change this type to our shaft wall, we're going to get the same look here. But this wall is constructed differently. So on one side, it's going to have a one inch shaft liner.

And then on the other side, it'll just have the type X chipboard. And the stud is a little different. It's a different shape.

It's a CH shape. We'll note that here. And now we've got our wall type A, wall type B, and wall type C. And we got one more, which has a ton of notes because it's the plumbing wall.

We'll go ahead and just again, as we've been doing, we'll copy this one down for wall type D. And again, it's important to take note of these designations because it's really important to make sure that these all correspond back. We're not using a manual system to do that. So it's important for us to make sure that we keep track of which ones we're designating so that we can assign those types to the appropriate wall.

So what I'll do here is I'll go ahead and switch my component here to the plumbing chase and just make a couple edits here. I just need to move my insulation and add another one down here. And then we just have to update all of our notes.

We still have the same layers on the outside. So this is going to be a five eighths inch, but we'll call out a moisture resistant gypsum wall board. Just double checking my spelling here since I am notorious for that.

And then each side is going to have the sound bat insulation. We can kind of just siddle with the layer there. And it might be worth just so we don't have so many notes on this one, we can combine the two.

So I'll note three and five eighths inch metal stud at 16 inch on center. And then just with sound bat insulation. So that way I can have just one note there.

And I just have to copy these notes around. So I've got this one, which will go all the way down the bottom. And like this, which we'll adjust here in a second.

And then this one here, which will represent for the bottom stud. And then one more note in the middle that just represents the air gap like that. And, you know, as usual, we just kind of hop in and finagle these around a little bit.

So everything looks nice and tidy. And in 12 minutes there, we have a very detailed partition schedule. Again, nice and tidy, looks good.

And we can assign these to our floor plan sheets now. So I'll go ahead and save so we don't lose any of this. And then we can jump back into picking up all the different red lines we've been working on.
