I have all of my titleblock setup except I can not figure out how create additional label parameters other than the standard ones. I went under "Shared Parameters" and created 5 new ones but when I place a label on my titleblock with those parameters, bring into my project, it will not allow me to edit the parameters I added. It will only allow me to change the parameters that were from the standard list. We have 5 places to enter "Revision Descriptions" on our titleblocks. These are the ones I am trying to create. I wanted it to appear like the attached image. This is our AutoCAD sheet but I am trying to match it in Revit. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You need to load the shared parameters into your template and project in order to make use of them... Settings--Project Parameters--Add--Shared Parameter--Select parameter (can only do one at a time)--Select whether you want an instance or type (assuming instance...)--Then select what families you wish to apply to, you can either use project information or drawing sheets... HTH.

I have done all these things and my parameters show in Project Information and a re Editable but they are still not showing in the Titleblock itself.  The information is still shown as a ?.  Please help because I have been trying to solve this issue for days now.

Those questions marks mean that you have setup your titleblock correct and you now need to put the info you want into the box.

if you want a person to know what to type at the blue ? mark. i think you will have to add that as a text note

(Drawn By : ? ) you will have position the two notes to get the desired effect

Thanks for the response I did finally get it right.  I did forget to indicate in my comments that the ?'s where red not blue.  Any way problem sorted.

Rikcdputo just make sure that you load the shared parameter into your project as well. Go to Settings>Project Parameters to load them in.

When you imported the parameter did you select drawing sheets catogery? This is the only ohter thing that I can think of that you could be missing.

I was also having problems not being able to edit a label of the titleblock once added to the project. Mr. Shot's comment dated Thu, Oct 27, 2005 at 5:24:41 PM fixed my issue. Thanks for the help!
