Why tin't y'all change the size of a sail Was told on solar day iii of my grooming that one time y'all create a sheet with, say, an A1 canvas, yous then can't change this to A0 with deleting the original and starting over again. Why?

Re: Why can't you change the size of a sheet Title blocks are families, like a door or a window except they are note. When you create a sheet view you cull a title cake to use. If you determine you lot want a different size championship block yous need to make certain information technology is loaded into the project. Once it is y'all tin can swap a title block family for any other loaded one.
Keep in mind that doesn't mean the view on the sheet will fit anymore, you'll have to fix the position of any views on the canvas as well as consider choosing dissimilar scales etc.

Re: Why can't you lot change the size of a canvass Not certain I understand the question....
You can rename sheets to whatever you lot want without having to delete them. You cannot rename a sheet to a proper noun that is already being used in the same project. So if y'all already have a canvass A0 you lot cannot rename A1 to A0 unless y'all rename A0 to something else if you all the same need that canvas.
I hope whoever is educational activity your class too doesn't say something similar you have to delete a ceiling if you need to change it to something else and you already have all your lights and mechanical hosted to it.

Re: Why can't you lot change the size of a canvas Are you saying that you tin can change the size of the titleblock canvas once you have created it? This is not what I was taught in class.

Re: Why tin't you change the size of a canvass Let's say I create a cartoon sheet with an A1 size title sheet, but then realise that when adding views information technology wont be big enough and volition need an A0 sheet. I was told in training that I couldn't change the title sheet and would have to delete and outset again. Originally Posted by cdatechguy Non certain I sympathise the question....

Re: Why can't you lot change the size of a sheet Practise this:
Start a new project with the stock template: default.rte
Create a canvass view: select the championship block family E1 thirty 10 42 Horizontal
Now go to the Insert ribbon tab
Click Load Family
Browse to Titleblocks folder
Choose the D 22 x 34 Horizontal title block family unit
Click Open up
Now render to your sheet view
Select the title block family unit in the view
In the Blazon Selector bandy the title block for your new D size title block.Y'all've merely inverse a canvas to D from E1
For a title block that'southward too small...do the reverse, select the bigger title block.
Fwiw, a title block is really a "tag", tagging the canvas view with information. Much similar a room tag identifies a room, makes it visibly meaningful. A canvass view is a special view type that can host other views, plus Revit keeps track of the views on the sheet then that note tin be filled in for u.s..

Re: Why tin can't y'all alter the size of a sheet When yous start a project you lot should already know what your max canvas size is going to exist...lets say I start a project with all D-Size 24x36...only they alter it and say lets use Eastward-Size...30x42...I just accept to go to a sheet view, select the D-Size sheet, correct click and get the popup menu and select "select all instances" and alter to the E-size sail in the family browser (backdrop window). Don't take to delete my sheet views, I volition take to rearrange some views on the large sheet, but everything is all the same in place. Pretty much what Steve said for yous to practise.. Originally Posted by stuartw Let'southward say I create a drawing canvass with an A1 size championship sheet, but then realise that when adding views it wont be big plenty and will need an A0 sail. I was told in training that I couldn't change the title sheet and would take to delete and start again.
Like I said before....if they tell you to delete the ceiling when you have ane in identify...raise your hand in protest and enquire why don't you merely change the ceiling type in the properties window!!!! Same goes for anything that you lot have already placed...doors, windows, walls, piece of furniture....etc...etc.. It does not have to be deleted for information technology to change!

Re: Why can't you lot change the size of a sheet and in about cases information technology should NOT be deleted. Swapping types is a basic process when using Revit. using the door instance, if you delete the door and re-place a new one all parameter data for the door will exist lost. If you change the blazon then parameter data is retained (assuming that all the parameters are consequent from family unit to family) Originally Posted by cdatechguy It does not accept to exist deleted for it to change!
In add-on the element ID also stays the same. Every bit yous work more collaboratively and more people accept access to model data this will be increasingly important.
