I just started working on a very large project in Revit Systems, with about 500 sheets.  On a large number of the sheets, the origin of the view is showing up in the lower portion of the call-out tag for the view, instead of the location from which the view should be referencing.  I have read that I need to go back to the original view and turn the related sections off, and re-place the views on the sheet in order for them to reference the correct location.  However, considering the size of the project, and my lack of familiarity with it, this seems impossible, and that is if it even actually works.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry but I don't understand.  Do you have a "cut from" in your call-out tag?  Change the tag.

In this set of drawings, the views on sheets have a callout tag where  the top number is the detail number, and the bottom number is the sheet from which that detail is referenced.  But there are numerous instances where the callout for the "source", "origin"on a plan view  "E2-00-B1", but it should say "E6-1-110.1", which is where, graphically, the plan is referencing a plan on another sheet. 

What I can't figure out is how to get the callout to have the correct sheet number.  For instance, there are about 50 sheets where all of the callouts say that they are referencing sheet "E2-00-B1".

Is that any more clear?

Thanks,

Still not sure what you are saying. 

The terms most of us use are sheet "cut on" and sheet "shown on".  The callout and the view tag can use either or both of those properties.  Typically, most people have the view cut set up to show the view "shown on" and then the view may show the sheet "cut from" so that there is a two way reference. 

A problem occurs with this process when only one view is used for multiple cuts using the "reference other view" option.  In that case, the "cut on" reference is always the first (original) cut.
