titleblock question

[schilds937]

Afternoon all,

I had a question regarding title blocks. Please see the attached image. If you notice where the "00" is that is the sheet count. I am not really looking for it to be automatic numbering but i would like to have something, maybe a label, in the titleblock family that I can change manually for the appropriate sheet number. ( we have subs drawings that fall inline and would mess up an automatic numbering )

Could someone please tell me or point me to how to do this or if there is a better solution. Open to ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Create a shared parameter to hold the total number of sheets data. Add a label to your title block family(ies) that references that shared parameter and displays the results. In your projects, add the shared parameter in the Project Information category, with values aligned per group type. That way you can enter the data once for the entire project, and the value will show on all of the sheets using a title block that has a label referencing that shared parameter.

Will i be able to control the sheet number on a sheet by sheet case using the method you posted?

for instance
1 title <--First Sheet in Revit Model
skip two sheets for subs
4 Code info <--Second sheet in Revit Model

etc ... thanks for the reply..

Ok, I did not read your original post carefully enough the first time. My response was for the total number of sheets - the "42" in your image. For the individual sheet numbers, do a similar thing, but add the shared parameter to the Sheets category in your project, and make it an instance parameter. This parameter can then be set individually, for each sheet, and you can skip sheets, if you like.
