So I created a custom Titleblock to match that of our AutoCAD version with some minor tweaks. Anyway, I input all the labels that are necessary, but am having issues with the Project address one. When importing into a project of usage, it defaults to "Enter Address Here", but does not allow me to click on it to change it. What I thought should be the same as Project Name and be a blue color once highlighted is in fact red like all the other static text.

Are they shared parameters? If so you need to add hem to the project to

You will have to change that from Project Information on the menus.

Thanks, thats such an odd place. Why not have it just like the other parameter Text?

Because all the other fields in Revit open a single line of text. The address is multiple lines of text. The programer would have had to write a whole subroutine to do something different when you click on that one object. And it was time to go home...

Nice!

Well I see that you can also edit some other project information in that are as well, but most of that can be edited within the title block itself which I think users relate easier to. Not that its a hard thing to do, but just a misleading one.
