Changing Title Block for Existing Sheet

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a Revit project with two different types of title blocks - one for Planning Board Submissions and one for Construction Documents.  Is there a way of changing the title block family for a sheet from one family to another?  I cannot seem to be able to do this without deleting the sheet and re-creating it with the new title block family.

 

I cannot just edit the family and reload it because, like I said, I need to maintain certain information on some sheets and different information on others.

 

Thanks in advance...

Create 2 title block familes and load them both into your project.  Now create a sheet and use one of the titleblock families.  Now when you want to issue the same sheet but with a different titleblock, open the sheet view and select the title block.  Now use the type selector to change the titleblock family being used.

 

This assumes both title block are fairly similiar in size, otherwise you will need to recreate the sheets, or have a duplicate set using a duplicated set of views.

Simply load another titleblock family into the same project. From a sheet, select a titleblock, and from the properties dialog, type selector, select another family.

 

Edit: oops, I had not seen Jeff's post when I started typing.

Thanks - I never thought of actually selecting the titleblock...duh.  Sometimes Revit is so easy that it's hard...By the way, I am putting that ninja on my title block...

 

And the title blocks are of the same size, so in this case there isn't an issue...

 

Thanks for the responses!
