I am currently working on 3 buildings, but they are all in different files.  So, to keep all off the sheets in one place, I linked all my models into 1 file.  Now, I am trying to make elevations of the buildings.  I need different elevations for the different buildings.  So, here is what I did.  2 of the buildings are connected and one is by itself.  I made a view that has each floor of each building in it, so, you can see all the first floor for instance.  Then, I cropped out the views I needed of the buildings.  Now, I need elevations of each of the buildings separately, but when I make an elevation of one building, the tag ends up showing in the plan of another building and they end up all over my sheet when I set up the views on paper.  Is there anyway of changing the visibility of certain elevations tags so they don't show up when I print?  If not, anyone have any tricks for getting them not to show?

Hopefully this makes sense.

Thanks

Hard to say for sure without seeing a print or screenshot, but you may want to explore 'scope boxes' in Revit.  Scope boxes let you assign levels, grids, sections andelevation tags to a scope boxe which is placed in 3Din your Revit model.  You can have multiple scope boxes such as Bldg A, Bldg B etc. and assign elements to each scope box.

See the Revit help file for a better explanation.

Thanks, but I looked at the related threads at the bottom of the page here and the first one with just hiding the annotation in view worked for me.  I may decide to get into scope boxes at a later time though.

There is also a little known property of the elevation called 'hide at scales courser than'.  Click on the elevation tag arrow [not the circle] and go to the properties box.  If you have elevation tags for example that you don't want to appear on 1/8" plans but do want to appear on 1/4" plans then choose 1/4" as your hiding scale.  This lets you hide certain elevations based on logic in your view while still keeping the valid ones for the plan on.
