Wall Type Schedule creates a formatted wall-type report from the active Revit project. It is intended for teams that need repeatable, presentation-ready wall schedules with controlled filtering, titles, layout, styling, and export options.
Use it when the project needs a consistent wall-type report for PDF, Word, print, or on-screen review.
Getting started
Overview
The command collects wall type data from the current project and opens a report dialog where you can control filters, report metadata, page settings, appearance, and export output. Presets can then be reused on later projects or report revisions.
The report workflow is especially useful when one office standard needs to be applied to many projects without reformatting the same schedule manually every time.
Requirements
- A supported Revit version with Wall Type Schedule installed.
- A project containing the wall types you want to report.
- Write access to the output location for PDF, Word, or print preparation.
- A legend view named wts if you want the high-quality image mode used by the add-in.
Install and uninstall
Deploying to multiple machines? This section covers standard local installation. For automated deployment by IT administrators or BIM managers, see the Silent Installer Guide.
Install
- Close Revit.
- Run the Wall Type Schedule installer with administrator rights.
- Complete the installer steps.
- Start Revit and confirm the command appears in the Publishing panel.
Uninstall
- Close Revit.
- Use the Windows uninstall entry for Wall Type Schedule.
- Confirm removal and reopen Revit only after the uninstall completes.
Build the report
Open the dialog and set filters
- Open Wall Type Schedule from the ribbon.
- Wait for the add-in to collect the wall types and prepare the report data.
- Choose the phase, wall function, and other filtering options needed for the current deliverable.
- Set the report title and any other identifying text before previewing or exporting.
Page, style, and branding options
The dialog separates report settings into logical areas so the document can be tuned without rebuilding the data. Use the page, style, and title-block sections to keep the report aligned with office presentation standards.
Preview and export
Preview the schedule before exporting. When the report looks correct, export it to PDF or Word, or send it to print according to the project workflow.
Templates and quality
Presets and saved settings
Wall Type Schedule stores project-specific settings and reusable preset data so the same layout can be applied again without rebuilding the whole report definition from scratch.
High-quality versus draft images
The add-in checks for a legend view named wts. If it exists, high-quality image mode is enabled. If it does not, the report falls back to draft image mode. This is the first thing to verify when the output images do not match expectations.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
The report is missing expected wall types
Cause: The current filter set excludes those wall types.
Fix: Recheck the selected phase, wall function, and other filter options before exporting again.
The images look lower quality than expected
Cause: The project does not contain the legend view required for high-quality image mode.
Fix: Confirm that a legend view named wts exists, then regenerate the report.
My last setup is not being reused
Cause: The report settings or preset file were not saved in the expected location.
Fix: Save the preset explicitly and confirm the project can write its XML settings to the usual storage location.
Can I export to more than PDF?
Yes. The active workflow supports preview, PDF export, Word export, and print output.
