Revit :: Create A URL Project Parameter Associated For Revision Clouds?
Jan 24, 2012
Is possible create a URL project parameter associated for revision clouds?
I want to make a hyperlink into a revison cloud for a DOC file, but I not found the Revision Cloud category in Project Parameters/Parameter Properties dialog.
I search for this solution because I don't know the limit size of the parameter Comments. I wish add many comments on the project and these can have texts and images, so I choosed put comments in a DOC file.
A new phenomenon today after updating R14 yesterday with the 'rvt2014ur11' patch, though this might not be connected. My revision clouds, after finishing the edit and clicking the big green tick, disappear! The revion number and note is added to the bottom of the sheet but no revision cloud. As annotation objects visibility is on, there is no annotation cut off on a sheet view and they do not show up when the 'Reveal Hidden Elements' is chosen.
Having problem of Revit 2013 crashing when they go to close a large revision cloud? it doesnt seem to do iit with a smaller cloud, but when you click the green checkmark to close a large one such as clouding a large plan it shuts down with no option to save.
I am making revision clouds on some record drawings. They come out all peachy, but when I save the file and reopen it, all of the wonderful little clouds change to jagged straight lines.
I 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.
Although we're in Architecture 2012, I've gotten rid of the Windows ribbons and used MENULOAD to bring back the toolbars I am most efficient with. Using the revision cloud button on the DRAW toolbar, I draw the clouds in paperspace like I always have. The arcs of my clouds now flip back and forth so that they are sometimes correct and sometimes inside out. I don't know when this started (with the upgrade to 2012? out of the blue?), but it's been going on for a while and it happens whether I draw clouds clock-wise or counter clock-wise.
There used to be an option where you could "flip" the cloud to change the arc "direction" and now it seems to do it automatically. No matter how slowly I draw a cloud, I often end up having to erase and redraw (and redraw, and redraw). I've searched but I can't find any mention of changing the orientation or direction of the arcs on a revision cloud.
Is this a feature, a setting or a bug in my system and is there any way to make it go away?
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.
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.
How to create a parameter field to include the MasterFormat data using 'txt' file similar to Assembly code parameter already built into revit families. I don't want to use the Keynote field for this purpose. I am looking for a ways to create a new parameter under the Identity Data.
How 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.
The Developers Guide explains how to create e.g. shared String parameter and import them into the project.
I actually want to create a parameter which has a fixed set of possible values, which is normally referred to as enumeration type in programming languages. The user shall be able to choose one literal from a combo box in the Properties view.
PS I don't have the requirement that it is a shared parameter, it can also be "only" a project parameter, but i didn't found out how to create these.
I ran into a problem when trying to create a new floor slab for a basement project.
Rivet stops working and shuts down after I try and load "sand" into the material column. The same thing happens when I tried to load "gravel". Interestingly enough, "Earth" can be loaded with no problems.
I have a Revit file with over 1,000 materials and associated appearance assets. It was created in a previous version of Revit before library support. What I want to do is create libraries from them. However, the only instructions to add them one at a time using dragging and dropping. That will take me days to do. Is there a way to simply create an asset or material library out of multiple materials from a project file at one time without having to individually select them?
I would like to be able to add a single revision to all sheets at once. For example when doing a major issue of all sheets for building approval. In this case I don't use revision clouds but use the "Revisions on Sheet" function in the properties for the individual sheet. Hence the problem, having to individually select every sheet one by one and add the revision to each sheet. Is there a way to multiple select all or some sheets and just do it once? I've tried doing this through a schedule but that doesn't let you select and change a revision either. Is there an add-in that could do this perhaps?
I need to convert a number of raw point clouds into PCG files for insertion into Revit. I'd like to do this ahead of time, and preferably without having to open and insert into Revit. I know Revit uses adpointcloudindexer.exe to index the raw file formats, but was unsuccessful at trying to launch it by itself. If this can be used as a standalone convertor, possibly by combining the exe with a switch and a file location?
Yes, I am new to Revit, and I can add a revision cloud and see the line added to the rev block but I'm trying to add revision and have it show up on the rev block without adding a rev cloud. I did it once and can't figure out how to do it again. On the Sheet Issues/Revisions dialog box I check on the Issued box and on show I've selected Cloud and Tag, Tag, and None.
Is it possible, short of doing some programming through the Revit API, to change the shape of the arcs created with the Revit "Revision Cloud" tool? For example, with AutoCAD you can enter the size of the arcs that you want to use when you use the revision cloud command. Is there anything similar in Revit?
I have done some searching and am surprised at how little mention there is about both the strange look of the clouds produced by the Revit tool and their lack of flexibility. Everyone focuses mainly on being able to associate clouds with deltas and a Revision Schedule, which I admit is important also.
Any way to disconnect the line spacing in the revision schedule from the text height? We have a client titleblock we're trying to match and Revit's "hard-coded" connection between text height and line spacing is continually flagged as "non-standard".
I used railing tools and created railing in the project files. i want to change rail and Baluster.i created metric baluster and rail from family and saved in the local drive. i used in to my project also it is working fine.
i want to use this railing to some other project. how to get it either copy past or revit link or any other way because the railing created in project file.
