New View Templates in Project Browser

brianwclayton1969 — Wed, 27 Feb 2019 18:12:47 GMT

I want to rename the views heading in the Project Browser. See attached for example. I have a screen shot of my original with the questions marks "???" that I want to rename and the other is just a screen shot from just a standard Revit template. I just want to know how to rename the main heading.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can add a project parameter assigned to Views category, and use it to Sort the views under the project browsers.

It is sorting by discipline....each view can have a discipline assigned to it in the view properties. To change it change the discipline.

Also...you can use the Snipping Tool that comes with Windows to save a screen area vs taking a picture of it with your cell phone.

I did use the snipping tool there was no need to crop the whole screen because it had no bearing on my question just the project browser.

In my screenshot I'm looking at creating a NEW view name with the disciples underneath. The Existing View names are already DEMOLITION with Architectural Discipline and NEW WORK with Architectural Discipline,

The one with the ??? I need to create a NEW view name with it, the Discipline is already correct.

Thanks

See...that screenshot is from a phone....

So you have some custom sorting methods already setup, so go to one of the views under the other headers and look in the view properties. Look for the parameter that is assigning the DEMOLITION and NEW WORK parameters. Once you find those, go to the views that are under the ?? and type in the name of what you want the header to be, they will begin to sort by that name. Do it again for each additional view under the ?? header.

The NEW WORK and DEMOLION values are entered in one of the parameter of the views. Look at teh properties of one of the old view and find out which parameter, then go type in a value for that parameter for the Views under ???
