Jorit, . Adding custom labels to a title block is a rather tricky exercise to fully explain in words or even text which is unfortunate because it's one of the first things people usually want to do in REVIT as a beginner. . As long as all you need are the 'out of the box' labels that come with the Title Block template files you're ok. But if you want to add a label that is NOT part of the out of the box supplied labels you start on a small journey of creating shared parameters and project parameters. . See the (silent) video link below for a demonstration on incorporating Shared Parameters, Labels, Project Parameters and Title Blocks. . Click the link to play or right click and 'Save Target As . . ' to download. . This video has no audio but it's pretty easy to follow. . First you have to create a shared Parameter File. File > Shared Parameters. . Then you make shared parameter(s) in the shared parameter file. (client number, client address etc.). . Then you include those shared parameters as labels in your title block family. (add parameter). . Save the title block family and load it into a project. . Then within the actual project file where the title block has been loaded, you have to add the shared parameters again as 'Project Parameters'. It seems weird but that's how it's done. . You have to make the new project parameters 'Instance' and Category 'Drawing Sheet' or Catagory 'Project Information'. * This is critical. . If you make them Category 'Project Information' you can control the values from the Project Information dialog box under the Settings pulldown menu. (and also in the title block properties?) . The 'Category' you use as the project parameter will also determine how you can schedule the information later. . . Reading up on Shared Parameters is also a good idea. They are a powerful aspect for tagging and scheduling custom content.
