Has you have read in the title i am looking for ways to add watermark i.e., "logo" to my Titleblock or sheet set in revit 

 

i have tried many ways like importing image and setting it background and transparency but what i need is a family in the sheet layout so that i would not need to repeat the process again and again...

 

it would be helpful if anyone's got a solution or a link to any video.

 Thanks for the help

You need to edit the Template and add it in here.

For Logos etc. it is  recommended to use a Generic Annotation Family and create you information inside here then insert it into the template, you could even control its visibility with an Yes/No parameters to turn it on and off.

 

please review the extract below;

 

Watermark notes need to be transparent and faint, so they don’t detract from the main drawing or sheet. To create a watermark symbol:

  • Create a New Family
  • Choose the Generic Annotation family template
  • Create a text note to a suitable size, font etc and enable transparency.

I used the ‘Swiss721 BdOul BT’ font in my example. I used this font as it is hollow and looks different from annotations native in the document.

Set the text to a large 20mm text size, so it is noticeable, with a X2 Width Factor and fills the page.

  • Disable right reading in the family properties

Adjust other settings to suit as desired. Once completed, load the family into the project and place it either onto a view or sheet as required.

For greater efficiency, a watermark can be added to a title sheet, with several toggle-able options for like Prelim, Draft or For Construction etc.

Is this what you are after? Just add transparent image or large text placed in the titleblock

It looks like the text is covering up the linework. That's not desirable for a watermark.

Correct. This is why you would add watermark through PDF and not in Revit file. Revit is terrible at image display and won't display transparency properly.

It's better to add watermark to PDF than in Revit.  The PDF waternark can be added more quickly, the content is more flexible, the graphic and transparency is better.
