    Default Browser Organization - Subfolders

    Hi,

    I'm working on a project that has several types of plans, i.e. floor plans, electrical plans, framing plans, etc. These plans are starting to get rather lengthy in my Project Browser window. Is it possible to create subfolders to help organize my plans. For example, it would be nice to have a floor plan folder which would have subfolders where i could organize these different plans, such as a separate electrical plan folder, a framing plan folder, etc. Is this possible to do?

    You can use some of the tools that come with Revit to organize your browser. Click on the top level of your browser list, where it says Views, and then look a the properties pull-down. You've got several ways of re-organizing the browser using Folders and Filters. You can set the folders to "group" by discipline, which would allow you to separate your views into floor plans, framing plans, etc. You can organize by phase, discipline, view type, on sheets (or not on sheets) etc.

    Just use the same procedure that Wes describes, but instead of applying the parameter to drawing views, apply it to sheets only.
    Then, go into the browser orgainization settings. There you will see a seperate tab for drawing sheets, where you can sort your sheets by the parameter you made.

    They're called "Drawing Sheets" in the Project Parameters dialog.

    Greg's got it. And then you can do to sheets what you can do to views -- sort them into folders. Don't forget to check out how you can use the leading characters of the sheet number to sort the sheets as well -- no additional parameter needed.

    This was a great topic.

    I want to see if we can expand it to sort schedules. I don't see any sorting available for schedules, so i dont think that it will work, but i am checking to see if i overlooking something.

    THanks
