Clouding and tracking revisions to the documents for RFI's

[agearey]

During the CA phase we are clouding and tracking revisions to the documents for RFI's but we don't want the RFI's but we do not want the RFI's to be tracked or to show in the Sheet revision schedule on the title block.  Any suggestions on whats the best way to do this or how other people are doing this?

Thanks,

Thank you for your post.  In this case it appears you are trying to create a label on the titleblock that does not print.  In this case, one that tracks revisions schedules, but does not print.  Do I understand that correctly?  I have included a link below with details on creating this revision schedule itself.  In this case, the schedule (or dates for revisions) will show up in each plot, as it is part of the titleblock family itself.  This could be overcome by creating a revision schedule in the file itself that could be a hidden element  per view, that is only visible on the sheet (not titleblock nor printed).  This would require a bit more manual approach (manual date entry) but it could be removed from the final plot itself.

Please let me know if this helps and if there is anything I may have misunderstood in this question. Thank you and we look forward to your reply

I’m not sure I am understanding you correctly.  Are you proposing I create a new revision schedule in addition to the one I already have on our titleblock and put the new revision schedule on each view that contains a revision (RFI in this CASE) and then hide the new revision schedule before the sheet gets printed?

Thanks,

Does this help topic provide the information you are looking for? It describes how to conceal a revision cloud and choose whether or not to include the revision itself in a revision schedule.

I've tried to find a solution for what you're asking myself, but I could not figure out how to keep the revision out of the revision schedule in the title block once something was clouded on that sheet. What I ended up doing was creating a RFIs entry into the revision schedule and entered *VARIES* for the date and none for the numbering sequence. I then used a modified revision tag that had a blank text field below it where I could input the RFI # to identify each RFI on the sheet.

Unfortunately, with this method you can never mark them as issued or choose to hide the clouds and tags so you would have to hide the individual RFI clouds as you progressed through each RFI (unless you wanted to keep all of those clouds visible).

That is very similar to what I would do.

Hi @ToanDN, thank you for another helpful post. I'm wondering if you can you verify if this method is still working in Revit 2022? I've tried to recreate to no avail - the Revision Schedule in the titleblock family shows an "RFI" cloud even though I've changed the sheet/issues revision settings for RFI "numbering" to "none".

It still works.  You cannot put RFI in Description field, they have to be different values (in the example I have 1, 2, 3) so that they will show blank.

The workaround requires more than a single (RFI) or non-revision with the "Numbering" set to "None."
