Thanks For the reply. Im learning to ask my questions more precisely... The linking to a detail page isnt my problem. My question, I guess, is assigning a label to a detail so when I Place it on a sheet it automatically displays the number (call out Label).

Hello again! My question pertains to Layout and Labels. I successfully assign a Label to Cross sections, so that when placed on a sheet in Layout there is a Label number to reference to. However, when I attempt to use the same process for CAD details or Plan Views, its a whole different option list. It is greatly pared down and the opportunity to assign a Call out Label number isnt available. I guess I could manually place a text number in the detail circle but it seems like there should be a way to do this. Attached are 2 images.... Thanks

Thanks for the response. Ill Play around with that. On another note since Im here, I dont seem to be getting notifications to forum responses eventhough I have chosen to "follow" the thread. I end up having to dig through the forums to find responses to my question. Im sure its user error but need to know what Im missing. Thanks Again

OK, I want to create a layer so I can draw "Hidden" CAD Lines on a Roof Framing Plan. The layer gets created but all attempts to draw a CAD line wont allow me to put these lines on my "hidden" Cad Layer. They Default to CAD Framing, and I dont want to change that line style. Any Ideas?

Thanks for your clarification on this. I finally understood how this helps with camera views etc. Before my thinking was "it is just as easy to manually edit each page sheet". By including the page info is handy down the line. Thanks again!

You did answer it and it really helped get me going. However now I need the pages that the macro on sheet "0" to stop deploying. For example, My sheet macro on sheet "0" is A%page% and this works perfectly until I want the "A" to quit being the page letter, and I now need the sheet to display a "D" for details and start the numbering from 1 again. And I cant figure out how to override the macro to manually insert a new numbering convention. I hope this is more clear. I may just have to manually insert the sheet numbering convention and forget about the macro? Thanks again.

I know this is been done to death at some level but not finding an answer my specific need (its all about me). I have been able to get Layout to report sequential page numbers (i.e. A0, A1...etc) and report to the elevation and section callouts. Big win! But if I want to "interrupt" or insert sheets that dont follow the Macro # on the template sheet, how is this done? Example: Title sheet-T1 General notes-T2 Architectural drawings (site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections) -A0 through whatever... Details - D1... Civil- C1... Green Building-GB1... etc...... Is there a way to handle multiple sheets with different categories? or do I just bite it and enter them all manually? Im a Revit refugee. I like Chief as it suits what I do better, but some things I miss... Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the help last time I posted. I need the door headers to display as a single solid header, not 2 2x's (Here in Cali I get brownie points for using LVL for headers) Cant seem to figure it out. Also, In an cross section cut view, the terrain doesnt seem to have a cut pattern, which is very useful. Is there a box Im not checking? My online search has left me thinking that I need to draw this CAD style manually?! Thanks

That was it! Thank you for your help!

Hi, Making the jump from Revit and so far loving it. My question today is about Elevation tags. I set up my Layout sheet with the Macro on the page number as such A%page% Intent being to insert an "A" before the sheet number (common where I am at to differentiate architectural from other types of sheets) In layout it works perfectly, displaying the letter "A" with sequential numbers as I hit the arrow buttons and move through sheets. However on my Callout Elevation Tags the letter "A" is missing from the sheet info Attached is a COMPOSITE image of my page number not matching the callout. The callout actually lives on a different sheet. Thanks!
