I need to create a new parameter in label text, (example: adress number 2), so I did it, but when I load it into the project, i cant write anything, its just a question mark.
View 2 Repliesis it possible to have a label set to a parmeter so that after inserting a block I can see what each parameter is.
the label could just be there or show when the cursor is over the parameter symbol?

Does the tooltips on Label Parameters can be modified? I would like to customize the tooltips on label parameters, which currently default to "Edit Parameter"...lame-oh; that tells the user very little. Perhaps the developers could add a customize tooltip control in the Edit Label dialogue box. Can the tooltips be accessed through the database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a project parameter (in order to group my sheets with my custom system) and I'd like to create a label on my titleblock that's the ability to show this project parameter atomatically.
I reckon it has something to do with shared parameters but how to use them.
i have created some dynamic title blocks with text attributes in title column. I have gone back an added some more attributes at a later date and these new ones will not move with my dynamic stretch! I have tried everything, modifying the action, re-doing the action, nothing works!
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to create a 'No/Yes' or visibility parameter for a title block? I have my Architectural Seal as an image inserted into my title block family. I want to have that as a parameter for visibility so I can have it turned off until I am ready to print for final building department submission filing.
If possible, this would be a global adjustment so I would operate this parameter once and will affect all the sheets in the project instead of having two title block families and swapping those out at the time of filing.
question...how to make Structural Slab TAG?...
all I can see was structural foundation structural columns and framing
then if i try to make them...i can't find a label or parameter on determining its thickness...T_T
Is there a way to get a filename label in the title block??
At the moment filepath label is used, but this path is too long for the small space we have.
I have only found 2 posts on this subject, but both are more than 5 years old.
I would like to place a parameter in the title block to indicate the view in the plan layout.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe use electircal elements in AutoCAD dwgs that have labels to indicate the status of the element by phase. For instance on a floor plan we might have elctrical outlets that are existing (E), new (N), demo (D), etc. How does one do this efficietnly in REVIT? Is there a way to assign a paramter to grab the phase of the object and then adjust a label accordingly? This would be ideal because over time the element s might move from one phase to another such as from new to existing.

Is it possible to add a 'variable' or label to our title block so that when we send a file to the printer, it will pickup the current time and date?
I know how to edit a label but I want this to happen automatically.
I need to use the dimension created by an action-parameter as a variable in a user defined function but AutoCAD will not allow me (see attached).
How may I access the action-parameter's dimension ?
I am using Revit 2013 and I am trying to create a text parameter for my windows that will tell you what grid is installed in the window according to which grids you choose (from my parameters above) I have included a picture to better show what I am trying to do. So far the parameters i have tried to use don't seem to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf there is a way of managing the width (and start position) of a text parameter?
I have created a 'Title Sheet' stamp for entering the proposed materials that are intended for a building project. This is used for a UK Planning Application where the required materials intended for use in a project need to be declared. Having created a suitable stamp where the information infills are created from Project Information parameters I need occasionally to widen the column width to accommodate the amount of text so that it does not need to drop down to another line and be lost behind the text on the next line?
See the attached image below:
:
On the second column 'Proposed' the word 'panels' which comes after 'weatherboard' is lost behind the lower line. If I can lock each label to the vertical lines to their left (they are all center) formatted) and extend their width to the right, along with the column vertical dividing line, then the labels will fit. Similarly I could increase the depth of each row.
The title blocks that we use have prompted entries in them and I would like to find a way using iLogic to copy the entries from one title block to another within the same drawing; i.e.. if the user decides to change from an A2 to A1 drawing.
I already have an iLogic rule which allows the user to change the active border, title block and sheet size based on a form selection but would like it to capture the prompted entries already entered and re-use them after the change.
Any way to get a scale bar/title block text to reflect plotting at half size?
We use the common (24x36) sheet size for all projects, but when plotting we send out half size (12x18) as well. This means the scale bar reading 1"=40' is no longer correct. It should read 1"=20'. I would like to automate this.
How do I manipulate a height parameter all of the dynamic blocks in the drawing from one single field? Say a field located in the drawing properties or on the drawing itself.
For example: Multiple blocks of different walls of same height with other blocks of things on located on those walls, dependant on the wall height, all linked to and changed by a single field. Possibly a Wall Height field located in the custom tab of the drawing properties.
I can pickout each of the blocks and change them at the same time in properites menu because they all share the same parameter name. I would just like to have that height parameter of every block in the drawing, that has that specific parameter controled by a single field. Which I could enter a new height at anytime that would change every block in the drawing to that height.
I've created a Title Block Family and when I bring it into the project I want to be able to edit the text on the project without having to go into the Family and edit it from there, how do I do this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a block that has a couple of rotation parameters. The main one works OK. But the secondary one that is incremental and only 180 doesn't. Everything looks OK but the objects don't rotate according to the parameter but 90 degrees from what I think it should.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a rectangle block which on insertion prompts me for some data (name/tag/item number) and then displays it (this I can do). This is al pretty straightforward. But I also want to be able to fill in width and height and then have the block stretch to the correct size. So basically what I think I need is to have the value of a parameter refer to the value of an attribute. I've gotten it to work the other way around, where the attribute displays the size of one side of the rectangle (after stretching and regenerating), but I'd really like to have it working the other way.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to do is have a graphic scale with a set list of scales the user can pick from. This was easy using the Visibility Parameter.
However, I want to add a "custom" vis state where, once they select this option, the attributed definition box will pop up and give them the option to input whatever scale they are using.Check out the attached .dwg to see what I've done so far (I just have the attributes on the "custom" vis state).
Is it possible to link a parameter value to a function? I want text or attributes to never be "upside down".
If it is rotated with a rotation parameter the text would need to be automatically flipped or rotated if the angle is less than say >3*PI / 4 and < 7*PI/8.
Any way to change the order that the parameter properties appear in the property manager. Currently I think they are appearing in the order in which I placed them, but I would likr to re-arrange them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying unsuccessfully for several days to achieve a stable setup for the attached. This is the closest I have been able to get so far but as you can see if you change the width then the rotation parameter, the stability of the block very quickly breaks down.
The problem seems to be associated with the move action which determines the center point of the angle parameter. It seems to only work properly when you change the width parameter and the rotate handle is in the 180deg. Any other position of the angle parameter results in incorrect alignment of the geometry.
The "Main Stretch" parameter does not correspond with the Block Properties Table. What does this parameter need to be attached to?The paramter will adjust with the pull down options of the Block Properties Table.
