Hi everyone, I am just new to all this shared parameters/global sharing on titleblocks. I do not know how to create the following to have on a titleblock.

1. Total number of sheets (Where I can change the number in Project Settings would be just fine)

2. Wind category ( same as above)

I would like to have each label be global and once changed in Project Settings, changes globally on every single sheet.

 Any help would be wonderful... (Revit Version: Architecture 200

Too easy

 1.  Create a shared parameter in your shared parameters file called "No of Sheets" set it to be a text parameter.

Now in your project, go to settings-->project parameters-->add-->Shared Parameter-->Select your shared Parameter-->Select the parameter to be "instance" and apply it to Project Information.  (its bests if you do this in your template file so you don't have to do it for every project).

 There you go...

2.  Same process as above with a different parameter name.

HTH.

How do you share a parameter between several different sheets?
