Revit :: Add Parameters To Family Category - View Title

Jan 17, 2012

I'm trying to create a custom view title family for the office (see attached).  We'd like to have a label for Drawing Type (ie. "Building Plan" in the attached image) in the view title which would appear in the properties tab under identity data, next to the standard Title on Sheet, View Name, etc. 
 
In the project, I am able to create a project parameter which appears as desired in the properties tab, but am unable to add the parameter inside the family when creating it.  It seems impossible to add this parameter to the standard view title family template (alongside Detail Number, Sheet Number, etc.). 
 
I tried it using a Generic Annotation family, but in the project, Revit does not recognize that family as a view category family and therefore you cannot choose this family when setting your view type.

Revit :: Family Category To Create Extrusion

Jul 25, 2013

Is there a Family Category that allows me to create an Extrusion that will then work with the “Attach Top/Base” tool?
 
For example, instead of using a structural column, I would instead like to use a Model In-Place Extrusion, then be able to attach these columns to my roof.
 
I’m noticing you don’t get the option to “Attach Top/Base” when you use a Model In-Place Extrusion.

Revit :: Appearance Of Multi-Category Schedule In Layout View

Dec 19, 2011

I would like to dedact some parts of the Multi-Category Schedule (to only show the measurements of units of quantities valid for the given materials)
 
This seems achievable in the working view mode, but when I place the schedule in a layout, the dedaction is no longer visible. 
 
If this setting cannot be transfered to the Layout view, is there a similar method that can be used to dedact some parts of the schedule?

Revit :: Changing Title Block For A Sheet From One Family To Another?

Mar 13, 2012

I have a Revit project with two different types of title blocks - one for Planning Board Submissions and one for Construction Documents.  Is there a way of changing the title block family for a sheet from one family to another?  I cannot seem to be able to do this without deleting the sheet and re-creating it with the new title block family.
 
I cannot just edit the family and reload it because, like I said, I need to maintain certain information on some sheets and different information on others.

Revit :: Filling Out Parameters Of Title Block Of Sheets All At A Time

Mar 10, 2013

I’m wondering if there is a way to fill the values of all parameters of a title block for ALL sheets at a time. Are we supposed to fill out these parameters for each single sheet manually despite that fact that they are similar?Surely, I’m not taking here about the sort of information that differs from sheet to another like the “sheet name”  

Why ALL the parameters of the title block are not shown in the properties dialogue box? 
 
How to change the order of the sheets? Is there a way to move the sheet up and down? 
 
Is there an automated way to re-numbering the sheets based on a given start value say A001?

Revit :: Why Loading Family Switches Active View

Aug 25, 2013

I've been downloading some families from seek.  Each time I download, I open the family and then load it into the current project.  Well, during the load into current project, the view switches from Level 1 New (the active view before the family load) to Level 1 Existing, the first view in the project. Is this intentional or a bug?

Revit :: View Title Half Scale

Jan 23, 2012

I have a view title where I want to show Full scale and half scale on the same view title. Please see attached .rfa file.
 
Is there a way to have a label return a half size automatically in an effort to have only one view title. Otherwise our current work around is to make each view title for each scale and create a viewport for each scale in our template. I have heard that the labels are hardcoded and cannot be changed.

Revit :: How To Align Nested Family To Reference Line In Host Family To Rotates Around A Certain Point

Jan 29, 2014

I'm trying to align a nested family to a reference line in my host family so that it rotates around a certain point.
 
I've created the reference line in my host family, locked the end point to two reference planes and then gave an angular parameter to the angle between the ref. line and the ref. plane.
 
I then inserted the nested family and aligned it to the ref. line. The problem is that when I flex the angle, i get a "Constraints not satisfied" error..
 
What could be wrong?
 
I'm using a generic face based family for both host and nested families...

Revit :: Filtering Multi-Category Schedule?

Aug 21, 2013

I have a Multi-Category Schedule and using certain fields it shows me Furniture, Toilet Assoc., Plumbing Fixturers, etc. All I want the Schedule to show is Furniture and Furniture Systems together in one schedule.  When going to the Filter I choose Category>Equals>Furniture Systems and Category>Equals>Furniture.  Assuming that the schdule would filter out everything else and only show items from the Furniture Systems Category and the Furniture Category.  Instead it shows me nothing, eveything disappears.  Its as if it is looking for a Catgory that is botn Furnitue Sysems and Furiture as one.  I can do each Category individualy and its fine but I can't Filter by both?  How can I get this scheudle to just show me Furniture and Funiture Systems?  is their an update to correct a bug in the software that will fix this?

Revit :: How To Change The Category Of The Element To Roof

Aug 22, 2011

Problem: in order to get Revit Mep to calculate roofs in the heatload calculation I the floor I used need to be a roof.
 
Revit MEP does not calculate any roof area since in my model I used floors to finish a level. Which i architurally correct. But partially it's also a roof. Revit Mep does not use the floor as a roof. So what i want to do is to redefine a complex floor with lots of curved sides etc. into a roof. 
 
The question is: is it possible to just tell revit somehow to change the categorie of the element to roof? or do I have to redraw the whole floor as a flat roof?

Illustrator :: Read Input Parameters From Script Title?

Aug 24, 2013

How do I read input parameters from a script file title? For example, let’s say I want to run a script that requires 3 variables as input, but rather than prompting for the values I wish to read them from the script file name … e.g., Myscript (my_variable1, my_variable2, my_variable2)…where variables are all real numbers. So I assume the script name when run should look something like …  Myscript (10, 10, 100), but how do I then read these and assign these values to a var within the script?
