0.5 Increments for Revision Numbers

jahillegas — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 00:27:41 GMT

Based on what I could find it does not seem that it is possible to add 0.5 ASI/Drawing Revision numbers in revit without adding ".5" to the suffix which affects all revisions. Wanted to confirm with anyone else prior to informing the client.

Huh? Maybe I'm slow, but what's a half-point revision? Is that like being half-pregnant?

Two different architect's issuing updates to drawing set during construction. The want to "post date" an ASI to fit in between ASI's that have already been released.

Huh? Are you saying that you want to incorporate two different revision chronologies into one?

You're in luck. Because you are using Per Project revisions you can modify the Alpha-numeric revisions to match what you need. eg. 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, etc... No need to use a suffix.

This will ONLY work for per project revisions as trying to keep multiple sheets on multiple revisions with thei system will leave you with hundereds of revisions very quickly.

@barthbradley maybe not in the grand scheme of things, but I've rarely used per project revisions, so assumed it wasn't as common as per sheet.

Numbering per project or per sheet?

Per project, I did modify the alphanumeric numbers, not the best route, but it works.
