Revit Sheets, ISO19650 and Naviate

When working with Revit and ISO19650 the naming requirements (information containers) are a concatenation of multiple fields such as the project reference, originator, level, zone etc. The temptation for many is to simply type this very long string into the Revit Sheet Number. However, as many of you have probably realised, the consequences of this approach are not desirable!  An obvious issue is the referencing of the drawing number on sections, elevations, and callouts!

The answer is to create shared parameters that build up the required information containers. These can be used to form the drawing number and used to organise the sheet views in Revit, very useful for large projects. Some of the shared parameters will be added to project information (global for the project) and others for the sheets (each sheet can have a different value).

The sections, elevations and callouts can then simply reference the Sheet Number, or for multi-disciplinary design can also…
