Hello all,

Here's the issue. I am working on 6 townhouses. I orginized the project beautifully and went around a lot of stuff, but still have few little things. Each house is filed separately, so each house has it's own adress. i orginized sheets in different filing sets for each adress. So I would like to have the possibility, when I assign a filing set to the sheet, to have automaticly the right Adress showing on the sheet. I created different parameters for each adress, and the only way I found was to select by yes/no on the sheet which adress I want to show and which not, but having 60-70 sheets per filing set it would be great if Revit could do that for me. Any ideas???

Thanks

Why not just create different sheet types with the address in the sheet family.

Well, I can just make the adress parameter Sheet related and put it manually on each sheet, instead of having 6 familes. The fact is that ion this way there is space for error, considering the number of sheets. That's why I'm searching a way to make it automatic, when the sheet is in the filing set 1, the adress is 1, in the filing set 2, the adress is 2. etc....

I use this method with key plans for mutliple areas. You could create a shared paramter and put it into your title block as a label, then intreoduce teh shared parameter to your project, so once you type in a value once for a sheet, it will become a drop down for future filling out. 

OR

you can go into your title block ,and just stack the different addresses on top of each other, and make them visisble or not visisble with a instance parameter. This way you can select multiple in your project browser and fill them all out at once. 

I know it's not instantanious, but the only way i think you can accomplish what your asking for is to have them be separatoe projects, and go to the Manage Tab > Project Information > Fill out the Project NAme & Project Address > then go intot your title block, and put those lables in the orientation you want. You can only have 1 value per project file though.

Well, your second suggestion is what I used @ the end... But still leaves space to error with so much sheets, I want something automated,: IF THE SHEET IS UNDER FILING SET "HOUSE 1" PUT ADRESS "ADDRESS 1"... I can't have different projects because I have to be able to make changes in 1 file, would be impossible to have 6 different files and make changes to all....
