YO,
Instead of the default view title with the circle and line that comes with Revit, I am trying to make a family of boxed view titles so that I can insert a sereis of 25 boxes onto my typical detail sheet (e-size), as we curently do in Autocad. These details are not part of the model, so I intend to use drafting views.
Since we are structural engineering consultants we have to adapt to numerous sheet sizes corresponding to the architect we are working with. Therefore the box sizes are always different. So I want to make a family so that I can adjust the box sizes with instance parameters.
I got the linework set up and it flexes nicely. My problems:
1. When the lines flex the text does not stay positioned correctly. How can I lock the text into the correct position.
2. When I insert the detail onto a sheet I can't snap to the corners of box
in order to assemble it on the sheet.
I have attached the view title file. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and have a great day.
