Hi I am trying to make drawings in Revit and having architecture, Reinforcing structural steel drawings in one file.

I have the dicipline set to Architecture in the architecture drawings and set to Structural on the structural drawings, that way the Section I take on the arc. sheets refer to arc. sheets and sections I take on the structural sheets refer to the structural sheets.

But my problem is that I want to make my sections for the structural steel sheets refer to them but not the reinforing sheets. They seem to refer to the first sheets even though I hide the section in the view.

Any good solution to this.

I enclosed two drawings demostrating this as the section in sheet 201 refers to sheet 113 even thou there is no indication on that drawing of there the section is taken.

Perhaps...better grammar?

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are trying to communicate.

Ok I try to explain the problem clearer.

I have plan views showing the same level on 2 sheets (call them sheet 001 and 002). I then make a section and put it on sheet number 003 the reference is automatically set to sheet 001. Then I go to the plan view on sheet 001 and hide the section icon on that plan view because I don’t want that to be visible on that plan view. Now I want the section on sheet 003 to refer to sheet 002 because that is where the location of the section can be viewed. Is there a way to do this?

If I understand your problem correctly; you want to place a section cut on sheet 003 which will reference plan 1/002.  Right?

When you execute your section reference command, your design bar (the gray space above and directly adjacent to your view) will have the option 'reference other view.'  Select this option, and choose the detail you wish to reference.
