We've come up with a problem and a possible solution that seems like a lot of extra work and I want to see if anyone out there has a better idea. We're using Revit Architecture 2008. We've got a large team work sharing on our building, 5-6 people at a time, and each time one person changes the model graphics style, crop range, or other visibility settings in a view it changes the settings for everyone else when we save to central. While this is an annoyance most of the time it's a big problem when we go to print. Everytime someone changes a setting, it changes the sheet settings as well. We want to lock the visibilty settings in our sheets and the only way we have been able to come up with to do that is create another distinct view of each floor that we then drop into our sheets. It creates another layer of views for us to manage and seems like it should be simpler. For instance, we have a four story building. Each story would have what we are terming a Model View - where we make all our changes to the model, a Sheet View - where we set the visibility styles and add notes, dimensions and tags, and a Revit sheet - that has the title block and all. Shouldn't there be a way to tell the Revit sheets that we want it to print in Hidden Line style with so and so categories visible and leave it at that? We've tried using View Templates and that works for the most part, but not for the Model Graphics and cropping. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Kevin
