Synchronize Multiple Sheets Per Drawing

If your Revit drawings contain multiple sheets, you can configure the Revit link to store the sheet properties in the vault so that users can view and modify the values in Meridian.

To synchronize multiple sheets per drawing:

  1. Enable the Synchronize the title blocks in all layouts option described in Configure Title Block Updates.

  2. In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings.

    The settings for each application link appear in property pages in the right pane.

  3. Click the Revit tab.

    The Revit link's settings page appears in the right pane.

  4. Click Edit.

    To export the settings file to your computer, click the Export button. This can be useful if you want to edit the file in another text editor. You can then copy your changes to the Clipboard and paste them into Configurator.

  5. Locate the section of the file that begins with [SheetList].

  6. Modify the settings using the descriptions in the following table. If a setting is missing, default values are applied.

    Sheet list settings
    Setting Description

    TableCaption

    Label of the tab that shows the sheet list in Meridian.

    GridCaption

    Caption of the sheet list on the tab that shows the sheet list in Meridian.

    DocumentType

    Name of the Meridian document type for which to use the sheet list settings.

  7. Locate the section of the file that begins with [PropertyMap].

    This section specifies the column names for the properties of each title block as they will appear to users in Meridian when they set the values for each sheet as described in Create a Sheet Set. Each line should map a Revit property to a Meridian property using the following format:

    Multiple Sheets.<Property Name> = <InternalColumnName>[.<DisplayColumnName>]

    Where Multiple Sheets is the predefined Revit property category used by the link. The following example shows the available column names.

    Multiple Sheets.Sheet Number = SheetNumber.Sheet Number
    Multiple Sheets.Sheet Name = SheetName.Sheet Name
    Multiple Sheets.Designed By = DesignedBy.Designed By
    Multiple Sheets.Drawn By = DrawnBy.Drawn By
    Multiple Sheets.Approved By = ApprovedBy.Approved By
  8. Click OK.
