Door Style Schedules in Revit to SAVE TIME! (Office Hour Sessions)

On this episode of the Office Hour Sessions, community member Reggie asks a great question about making door schedules more efficiently, which lead us into a tutorial about door style schedule in Revit.  How to save time making door schedules, be more efficient with your schedules, and not be stuck using door parameters from downloaded families. 

Oh, and we talk about using the same method on Room Finish Schedules... ;)

Every other week I hold a private call with members of the BIM After Dark Community (https://community.bimafterdark.com/).  I thought it would be valuable to highlight some of the conversations here on the channel.
