Can revit put 2 parameters in one column in a schedule for a drawing list?

[Stephm419]

My workflow for sheet numbering is required by some cities.

I know about making the sheet number and putting it in a schedule. In the image I currently do it like for drawing E-103.00 and towards the end.

However, I need to have the last two digits to be a revision number. Like the first 3 drawings listed.

I need to have the top 3 drawings E-101.01 look like the E-103.00.

In other words, how do I get the (2) parameters in one column in a schedule.

Hi @Stephm419, 

Hope you are well! 

It is possible by means of using the Combine Parameters Function for your DWG.NO. Column. 

Please have a look at the end result below: 

I also uploaded the Revit File which I used to get to the result for your perusal. 

I hope this helps!

Wow. Thanks for your help. However can this be dome in 2016?

Hi @Stephm419, 

Ahhh, do you want the good news or bad news then? Bad news is "String Concatenation Functions / Combining of Text Parameters" weren't available prior to Revit 2017 in some areas, in Tags and some other place in Revit, yes, but unfortunately not in Sheet Lists and in some other areas in Revit. 

Good news is, it is now available in Revit 2017! (After a very long wait for this!)

I do have a possible workaround for you on 2016, two option which you might want to think about and implement. I uploaded a Revit 2016 file which you can use as reference. 

Option 1:

Creating a New Text Parameter which can be used, but this would need Manual input. I put in in-between "Sheet Number" and "Revision", because it requires manual input so that you can try and avoid human error and type the Number in correctly from your left and then the Revision to your right. 

After your happy with the manual inputs, simply hide the "Sheet Number" Column and issue as required. 

Option 2:

No Manual input would be required here, but some cosmetic changes to you Drawing list would be required. I used the Grouping of Columns option here, then adjusted the text alignment and the borders.

Below is a comparison of what the lists would look like when placed on a sheet:

Where the DWG.NO. Parameter can be found when on a sheet as shown below: 

I hope this helps!

WOW!!

That was a good work around.

But like you said it is better in 2017.

Thank you
