Walls type schedule

Hello everyone!
I am looking for the best way to create a schedule/legend with all types of walls I use in the project (or only for selected ones).
My goal is to create a table with ID, 2D view, and multiline custom text where I can write materials with detailed information about them.

 

I usually make it in the model on the lowest level, but I want to remove everything that is not my building from my model.
I moved the rest of my legends into Independent 2D view, but it doesn't work with walls.
There is an example of what I want to get (or something close to it)

Wich AC-version are you using?  Did you check out keynotes in AC28?

I have AC28.
How can I use keynotes in that way?

Hello Silvermat, 

I did some tests with keynotes, it is not exactly what you need but it is an option:

+ Benefits of the keynotes is that you can easily type in the text with enters for a correct layout. 

+ The keynotes labels can be placed anywhere on a plan/elevation or even a worksheet.

- The keynotes do not have a preview >> makes them hard to line align with the 2d views

- It is not a schedule , no auto-update when you add a new element

Working with schedules:

You can add a property with the extra info you want to show (options/property manager)

+ display automatically new walls

+ preview can be aligned with the text

+ add text in the schedule itself

- not possible to make seperate lines, only full textblock without enters (other parameters will add columns)

Maybe someone else knows a better workflow

The lack of line breaks in schedule is such a large shortfall...

You can try to work around the lack of line breaks with a large number of spaces at the end of the line. Here is one example of solving the problem.
