Hi All,
Currently working at a firm that is developing their standards. I am trying to push them towards keeping full revit functionality at the same time trying to give them visually what they need.
current Issue: Interior Elevations. They want a certain look. In the sheet the details are numbers as so: 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d and so on. I have developed a tag that places the detail number directly under the elevation how they want and also puts the other additional title information down and to the right of the elevation. The problem is that with that additional information they want a large detail number but the kicker is they want it to only say "1", "2", etc. is there a way to get the label to read just the first character of the detail number field from the view? or a way to add a text field to the view (similar to the "Title on Sheet"? I would use the title on sheet field but it is already being used.
What i'm trying to do may be difficult to understand but hopefully someone out there can help.
I would like the "2a" near "123 Workroom" to read "2"
the 2a is a label field from the tag that read the detail number as is the smaller "2a", "2b", "2c", "2d".
thank in advance for any help
