TITLE BLOCK SETUP

CREATE TITLE BLOCKS FOR YOUR PROJECT

BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES MAKE COPIES OF THE TITLE BLOCKS YOU WANT TO USE AND PUT THEM IN YOUR PROJECT'S FAMILY FOLDER.

These can be found in the approved family library at:

...\Libraries\Approved Library\Annotations\Titleblocks

Then edit each one:

• 1. Edit consultant/client text to suit your project. Delete or add text as required.

  2. Add logos (avoid image imports, do NOT use CAD imports - create Revit detail components instead).

  3. Hint: After making changes Copy (ctrl+C) changed entities and Paste into other sheets.

  4. DO NOT delete any Label entities (Label entities refer to parameters, you can control if they appear or not via visibility parameters).

  5. If you intend using a sheet no. prefix be aware that prefix of 2 characters is allowed for. If you have more move the prefix label and sheet no. label to suit.

  6. (to identify the relevant labels select a label and read its type name.)

  7. Delete the blue descriptive text. (don't delete the blue lines, they can be turned off once the family is loaded into your project file).

MANAGE TITLE BLOCKS IN YOUR PROJECT

Once loaded into your project use type parameters of the title block to set how they will appear. e.g. whether sheet no. prefix and/or revision suffixes will be used.

Use Show non-print parameter to hide blue lines.

Note that Labels in these titleblock show the VIEW parameters of the view a title block exists in, and PROJECT INFORMATION parameters, these can not be altered by changing any of the family parameters.

FAMILY TYPES in STANDARD TITLE BLOCKS

Standard title blocks have 3 Types setup:

VIEW PARAMETERS USED IN STANDARD TITLE BLOCKS

These are parameters of the sheet view the title block exists in. They can be scheduled view a Sheet List schedule.

Note that not all view parameters available, whether shared or not, are used by the standard title block.

Parameters with .SH suffix are shared parameters.
