Simplify View Management with Revit’s View List Feature

February 25, 2025 Cherisse Biddulph

View List schedules in Revit are a powerful tool for managing and verifying project views. They allow you to check which views are placed on sheets, confirm their scale, and organize them by discipline. Unlike other schedules, they pull data directly from the views themselves. This makes them especially useful when duplicating views and updating details like phases or disciplines. In this blog, we’ll explore how to create a View List schedule to keep your projects organized and efficient.A screenshot of a computer
