Spacing of numbered lists

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 13:14:51 GMT

Is there a way to add a space after each numbered item in a numbered list?

We would like to have notes in a numbered list that has a space between each numbered paragraph. In other programs this is accomplished by paragraph styles that set a value for a gap between paragraphs or by manually adding a carriage return. In Revit, if I add a carriage return it just gives me a numbered paragraph with an extra number between each paragraph.

Desired

1. Text text text

2. Text text text

Revit result

1. Text text text

3. Text text text

Hi Emily--

That's a great observation. Revit's text editor needs some love, and my team is hoping to fix this frustrating issue and many other text-related issues in future releases. Stay turned!

Thanks for your feedback,

Trey

This has been a request of Revit users for years! Literally Years! Why is just now getting any attention!?! I mean even the text editor that i'm using to post this response can add a space, but not Revit. Its absolutly amazing to me that some things in revit are still trapped in 1985.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this still the case after the great text editor overhaul of Revit 2017??

I believe it is fixed in Revit 2017. Use SHIFT+Enter to break the line will not add an other number when you finish editing the text.

Wonderful! It was Shift-Enter and that works.

Thank you for the fast reply.

I am using shift-enter but the numbers come back every time I click out of the text editor. What am I doing wrong? I am using 2016 so I guess that is the problem.

They fixed it in Revit 2017 and later.

It should be done automatically unless you manually enter the numbers.

That's my experience as well. The shift-enter technique works...until you click out of the text box, at which time it adds the extra numbers back in.

EDIT - seems it is because I'm in 2016.

SHIFT + ENTER only works from Revit 2017 onward. For older version, you ought to add a bunch of TABs or spaces with a period or an Unicode character at the end.

2022 - Not so much!

Im at a loss as to why we have to jump back 20yrs in text editing with REVIT!

would really appreicate some abilityies to set the spacing between paragraphs or numbered lists in order to be able to read them better, an entire line space is often more than necessary, you just need a larger gap to separate paragraphs so your eye can follow what your reading and not get so lost. sample below of our margin notes using ARIAL font.
