    Default Entire sheet revised- revision cloud practice?

    until recently i'd only been aware of 2 methods for clouding a revision to an entire sheet (in architecture)

    one was to bubble the entire drawign area, and the other bubble the sheet number.

    the ideas were that you weren't changing the titleblock, or that if the sheet number changed, by necessity everything else on the sheet was different as a result respectively

    we're looking at adding text (in revit, so it won't turn off after a revision has been superceded as it could if it were a layer based revision) in the corner of the sheet that says "full sheet" bubbling that and letting the tag atop the text denote the text there as related to that revision.

    personally i find this last option confusing, as it means that every sheet will forever have "full sheet" sitting on it, and it's not inconcievable that that exact space will be needed for a future revison, meaning that the "full sheet" could get clouded off.

    what does everyone else do, and what are your thoughts?

    I am a believer in consistency first and foremost. I think that if you are adding a new sheet, then cloud just the sheet number. If an existing sheet is changed, then I would cloud the whole work area.

    I agree. I have been Drafting for 12 yrs. That is how we have done it.

    In Revit you an apply a specific revision without a cloud....

    Open the particular sheet view... Don't select anything and look in the properties window. You will see a "Revisions on Sheet" box/button. Select that and you can apply a specific revision(s).

    This works out great for Record Drawings...
