Detail number conflit

[ianmotabr]

Hi all, I've a section viewport to place within sheet, but when I try rename the viewport the Revit error out "Detailing number is already in use", however the Referencing detail don't exist.

This is referring to the Detail Number ... make sure this is a unique number in the Properties window

Do you want to reference that other view?  If so, check "Reference Other View" and select that View in the drop-down list.

So, the Detail number in sheet is unique. But the "Reference view" (below in properties colum) exists and I don't understand why that happens

The viewport is in no one sheet

I can't rename the Detail Number property to a specific number

Go to Sheet 122 and rename it then.

Referencing detail number has nothing to do with what you are trying to do.  Expand the list of views on the sheet via the sheet browser and there must be one view with number 1.  Renumber it to something else then you can change your detail view to number 1.

Go the Sheet 122 and rename it ("it" being Detail Number: "1").  Bada bing.

That's the problem, the section viewport not within a any one sheet.
