A B C D on interior elevations

[ray salmon]

can not get the ussuall A B C D renamed from the default on the interior elevation call out..and cannot rotate the text.... presume this was to be left black with a key off to the side

also the callout is too big and cannot scale it down

Have you tried going to menu Settings > View tags > Elevation tags > change the type to be the one you are using (square or circle). From there you can change text position and try to set it the way you want.

To rename the interior elevation, just go to the project browser, select Interior elevations, right click on one elevation and select rename.

If the A, B, C, and D are the elevation numbers on a sheet, be aware that you can't use a view number more than once per sheet. So you can't have any other rooms with A, B, C, D elevation numbers if you already have one with that.

wait,,, text still does not rotate...

and when i go back to the settings again
it still is at the default

ok, will change them to 1 2 3 4 ....etc
still some of them are rotated at 90d

Ray-

It sounds like you are referring to the view name rather than the detail # on sheet? Try Settings>View Tags>Elevation Tags.... Uncheck the "Show View Name". The associated detail number will be rotated correctly.

All-

I doubt this is possible, but is there any way currently to use the typical A B C D interior elevations as part of a larger view, e.g. view # 2 contains all A B C D elevations. Every firm i've worked for does it this way....having this ability would sure make sheet layout less busy and easier to read. See attached images....

Thanks for any workarounds or approaches to this methodology you may have.

We don't group interior elevations into a single area on our sheets. We use a grid numbering system on our sheets, where the bottom right corner is 1A, and the top left is 4E (4 rows 1-4 bottom to top, 5 columns A-E right to left). So every view gets its own grid location, with numbering like you showed it.

Since you can't "group" views together into a single detail, the tag that you showed as your "preferred" way would not work in Revit. Every view has its own detail number on a sheet, and that detail number is associated with the sheet number. You can't have a view>detail>sheet number. The detail number is the view number.

As far as placing them on a sheet, I think either dumb text or annotation symbols are your only option. You would have to have each view title with the number only, and then an annotation symbol for that room as you showed. Elevations are not tied to rooms, I don't think, so that's the only way I can think of that you could achieve that look.
