I know there have been many discussions of how to do electronic stamps in Revit. I was wondering if it's possible to do an On/off for an imported image? This would save us from deleting the stamp in our titleblock and reloading to project.

Thanks

Yes, you will have to save the image as an annotation family and then load it into your titleblock. Then in the element properties click the little box next to visible and assign a yes/no parameter to it.

Hey there,

You can take that concept a step further by making other "yes/no" parameters in your title block family such as:
"Preliminary Drawing - Not for Construction" (Here in Arizona, this type of statement is required to be on a drawing if no seal appears.)

You can place a DWG or imported text image to represent your local governing body's approval stamp if you have any. (Here in Tucson, the City has a huge rubber stamp which they place on every sheet which has all of the sign-off check boxes for the various disciplines. I just copied the stamp and exported it to a DWG and placed it in my Title Block family with a yes/no parameter so that I can turn it off when submitting to the County or other towns.)

Good Luck
Steve
