Revit :: Placing Drawing In A Sheet Is Not Flexible
Oct 1, 2012
Placing a drawing in a sheet is not flexible, I’m wondering about the best practices to place a drawing in the title block/sheet.
For example, in the AuotCAD, I’m used to have a title block, say appropriate for A3, for my drawing to make sure that it will fit well inside the intended paper with the aimed scale.
Here in the Revit, I was struggling to place my drawing in the sheet as there is no snapping or tools for performing this issue the same way we have it in the AutoCAD.
Software: AutoCAD 2014, AutoCAD C3D, AutoCAD M3D, Revit
Windows 7 (Ultimate 64 bits),
Firefox 20.0,
Kaspersky 2013.

I have a Revit problem that seems straightforward, but not to me at the moment. We have a label in the title block. The label comprises 3 parameters concatenated with “-“ separators:
Project NumberDisciplineSheet Numbereg:
123456789-A-001
Of those 3 parameters
Project Number: is inbuilt Revit Project InformationDiscipline: is Shared ParameterSheet Number: is inbuilt Revit Project Information In our Drawing List, for each sheet listed, we want one field to display the full label value: 123456789-A-001

The sheet set manager is an awesome tool (i just started using it a week ago). The problem is, whenever I place a view on my sheet, (by right clicking>place on sheet) and it says "Scale: 1:1 Right-click to change scale", i right click and all i get is:
"Invalid point. Specify insertion point:"
But here's the twist: Sometimes it does work (like 10% of the time) but most of the time it annoyingly doesn't. here are some photos:
*i'm using Autocad 2014 32bit
*using Autocad 2011 32bit in our office but still experience the very same case.
as you can see i have already attaced the "site development plan" view here (after a few tries) cadtutor 1.jpg
this is how i place views on my sheets. i can also drag and drop, but i prefer right clicking it. (are there other ways? share them too!) cadtutor 2.jpg
here, i've already clicked place on sheet and it's asking me to right click if i want to change the scale. cadtutor 3.jpg of course i do and i need to, but this: cadtutor 4.jpg
like i said, sometimes it works. I do a few rituals (i just invented) before getting it to show this scales list like right clicking rapidly or holding rightclick repeatedly but not rapidly. and "SOMETIMES" it does work. but more often, it doesn't. cadtutor 5.jpg

When placing a puch table in a flat pattern drawing, can the origin point be placed anywhere or does it have to correspond to the origin point of the Inventor drawing (0,0,0)?I placed the origin point at some point which I randomly chose but no table popped up for me to chose the puch table option.

I have an older drawing with an outdated sheet format. I'm wanting to update to a new custom sheet format without having to redimension and recreate views. Is it possible to just update the sheet format?

I have a dwg file with three sheets in, just default names, I can access sheets 2 and 3 but get the attached errors when trying to access sheet 1 form either sheet 2 or 3
This file was originally created in IV2009 I've had no problems then or with the various conversions of it.
It seems to be memory related so here's the sitrep as for memory 8GB DDR2 RAM, and Virtual Memory set at min of 8192MB and a Max of 16384MB, I did have it set a systems managed but that gave a warning of low virtual memory with almost every drawing file that I opened.

Quite simple what I want to acheive in ACA but not in revit. I want a line elevation view from file A (with shadows if possible) to insert into another file (B) sheet (so it shows another option variant without the complexity of setting up phases to show that option in file B. I can insert from file a render - managed that successfully but I dont want full renders as the the recipient (a planning authority) will plot from a pdf non-colour.
Is there any way of rendering so that the result is mostly line with a bit of half tone? I do elevations within a project this way by setting up a 3D aligned to elevation then sort out what I want shaded / colour / line by graphic overrrides.

We have a Revit Ar 2011 project that is well along in the modeling process and we have noticed that recently elevation symbols do not display on the cursor while placing. Once the elevation tag has been placed it displays normally. Basically, you are operating somewhat blind until the item is placed. Then you can see it in order to modify the orientation and such.

I am experiencing a crash when I try and place an ipart (any of them) into a new drawing. The open file box works but when the base view is placed in the drawing it has an unexpected problem and crashes.
Is this a documented problem , and a hotfix is forthcoming or is this just me and something local to my installation. Normally my install is very stable.

I got this weird issue when placing my custom made titleblocks in AutoCAD. All the attributes of the block jump to standard text style when placing it in my drawing. Allthough this ain't allways happening. It seems to me like there's a setting for this but i can't find out how.
It can happen suddenly too. Like when i open a new drawing and then add my titleblock, it's like it should be most of the times. Allthough when i start to edit the block (scale/move/copy,etc) it can change like you can see in the drawing below.
Offcourse, as a company, you do not want to deliver your drawings with a titleblock like this.

I'm making a logo for someone by hand-drawing a font I made up. But because I was having trouble drawing a perfect letter 'O', I'm using the "Circle/Ellipse" tool to do it. I drew an 'O' with that tool that's almost the right size... and I wanna draw another one just a little shorter... but I can't figure out how to place the completed new shape directly over the old one.
I don't know where to start the action with the tool! The completed shape always ends up in the wrong place. How to get my finished shape to complete just where I want it to? (Re-sizing the shape won't work because that changes the thickness of the line I used for the letter 'O'.)

I create a drawing of an iPart, while doing so I have the iPart model open in the background. When placing a view on the drawing the active factory member is the default option, I have a bad memory so forget to tell Inventor that actually I would like to use a specific iPart member in this particular drawing view. I then spend a long time laying out and dimensioning the drawing. When complete, I create a second sheet and copy all information from sheet 1 onto sheet 2. I then double click on the main drawing view and change the model state to an alternative factory member. At this point I realise that the drawing on sheet one is based on the active factory member and start swearing.
The result of changing to a different member when the existing drawing is based on the active member is that ALL DIMENSIONS DISSAPEAR FROM THE DRAWING AND HAVE TO BE PAINSTAKINGLY REPLACED. At this point I will usually REDRAW SHEET 1 so that further sheets can be created quickly in the future by selecting an alternative factory member.
can I change the software defaults somewhere in the setup to prevent the 'active factory member' being displayed as an option in the first place?

I notice that a 3D view on a Sheet, when the view is "activated" and with the crops regions on, can be reshaped, but I do not see a way to make what is shown on the view a tad "larger" (i.e., bigger, like zooming in). (I have tried, but I might be missing something?)
I wonder if there is way to scale a 3D on the sheet, to make the "scale" of only one of the 3D's larger on this sheet (without affecting the scale of the other views on the Sheet). Is this possible?

I am trying to take a countertop that I have in this bathroom remodel floor plan and place it onto a separate sheet so that I can send it out for pricing. I created a new sheet "countertop details" However, it is not letting me add it - I keep getting this warning "Can't create this kind of element in this view in the current mode." I know the answer is in one of the parameters but I am still trying to get used to this program and teaching myself.

Was instructed to use arch titleblock. I created my own shared parameters file. I can physically click on the sheet and name the sheet but the name doesnt change in the project browser,
So I created a shared parameters file. I created the parameters I needed (in this case the sheet title). The parameter properties discipline set to common, type set to text. I edited each label I wanted to re-associate. Hit new, selected the shared parameter, removed the arch label and added mine. I loaded into project and had it overwrite parameters. Then I went to the project parameters and added my shared parameters and under category applied to the sheets.
why the two (project browser and the sheet itslef arent talking?

I am able to get the parameter to appear on the project information tab, but I cannot get the information to appear on the sheet. I would like to create a phase parameter on the sheet so that different projects under the same building will be specific to the project and not just the building.

Today I adjusted our title block. Scale is automated by the scale view of the views placed. It becomes 'as indicated' is multiple scale are used. No problem, that part I can live with (/ workaround).
Sadly the scale doesn't appear on a sheet list schedule. Which surprises me . With revit 2012 I was wondering: I am wrong? If not: do you have a nice workaround which doesn't mean I have to manually input it.

I was wondering if it's possible to create a sheet list that uses keys. I'm trying to create a sheet list that will also have key dates listed with whether or not changes occurred to that sheet (something our project managers like to see). In the attached image you can see how we're doing it today.
I can get everything with the exception of the dates that allow a yes/no style for them. Is there anyway to recreate this in Revit? If not could I make a separate key schedule for just the date portion and align it with the sheet list. In essence creating two separate schedules aligned so it looks like one schedule? I tried setting up that, but cant seem to create a key schedule that will allow me to use sheet items for sorting purposes.

when i export a sheet with several floor plans, sections and elevation of the same building to autocad, I get a dwg file with the sheet's annotation in layout and and all the drawings are in viewports, which is great, but the problem is that all the plans are one on top of the other in every viewport. is there a way to see the sheet in autocad as it is in revit - every floor plan in its view port?

Any way to create sheet notes in Revit? I would like to be able to point at anything and place a tag (like a circle with a letter inside) and then have a list of notes that I can place on the sheet. I don't want to have to tag a specific item (like a door or a wall), I just want the arrow to indicate a point in space (like an arrow connected to text), but have a tag at the end of the arrow instead of text then have that tag reference some sort of legend that I can place on a sheet. Is this possible in Revit? If not, why not - this is a common requirement in architectural drawings.

Does it possible to have two different view Titles in the same sheet? I have different room elevations which I need to show the drawing number, the view name and in place of the scale will be the room number; the overall views will have a view title with sheet reference.

We have experienced this problem with multiple versions of Revit. When we plot to PDF (bluebeam driver), it will sometimes not create the final sheet that was checked in the list of sheets to print in the print dialog box.

I've been trying to style my sheet list schedule. ... trying.Is it true that I can't
* style (fontsize, fontweight etc) a 'sorting header'?
* style the scheduleborder to only underline the sheetlist-rows
* seperate the header styles from sheetlist styles? (I don't want the header to have a border.... while sheetlist-row should be underlined)
* format the height of a row

We are trialling Revit for the first time and have made good progress in modelling a building we have already designed.
We have set up an A1 title sheet to match our existing one and have successfully printed at A3 by using the Center option with zoom 50%.
However when the zoom sheet size icon is selected the view zooms to an A4 Landscape view and I would rather it zoomed to the extents of the A1 frame but I haven't been able to redefine the sheet settings. Where I can find these settings?
I have opened all Metric Title block families from A0 to A4 and they all appear to zoom to an A4 Landscape extent. Amusingly the A4 Metric Title block is Portrait.
