I have created a wall legend, but I can't seem to get rid of the legend notation that comes with it. I'm okay with the title, but I would rather not have the scale of the legend. Anyone know how to further edit a legend?

Thanks for the help,

Frank

Note, The scale only appears on a sheet, not in the Legend workspace.

You mean the view title?  Click on the view and under the properties tab - viewport, click on the down arrow and pick none.

I unchecked "view titles" under VG on my sheets which deleted the titles for everything on the sheet. I will just manually put titles back beneath drawings and not onto the legend. Not a problem since this is a small project, but I am sure I am missing something simple here.

Thanks for your help WWhub.

Why would you uncheck view titles when WWHub told you exactly what to do? Manually placing dummy tags is a horrible idea. Do what Hub said

Unfortunately Hub's advice did not work for my particular problem. I probably did not phrase my question as clearly as I needed to, but it is not a big deal. No need to get upset teafoe.

I wasn't upset I just want to see people do things correctly. Bad practice can be detrimental to a project and is a bad habit to get into.  I apoligize if you took that wrong. 

" I probably did not phrase my question as clearly as I needed to"

So what exactly was your question and why didn't Hubs advice work for your situation?  It is best to figure this out so that you and someone else who may come across this can fix the problem for future projects.

No worries. And it is a very simple problem, but as a newer revit user, these smaller problems can take a bit of time to figure out. I posted a picture to clarify. Normally in my drawings, I will not show a scale on a legend. I will only use a title. I have no need for the line separator either. As far as Hub's advice, I saw no viewport drop down box that I could select.

Thanks for the help,

Frank

My advice was still correct.  You need to spend some time with your HELP and tutorials:

When you place a view on a sheet, by default Revit displays a view title. You can specify text attributes for view titles, define the information to include in a view title, or omit view titles from sheets. You can define these attributes for individual view titles on sheets. You can also define view title types and use them to apply standard settings to view titles.

To change the weight, color, or pattern of the horizontal line in a view title, or omit the line from the view title, create or modify a viewport type. See Viewport Types. To change the length of the horizontal line for an individual view title, see Modifying a View Title on a Sheet.
