I am trying to hide a portion of a keynote value. So here is what I do:
1- Select the keynote and hit edit
2- I see that the keynote family has two parameters. Key value and keynote text. I like to hide everything after the dot of my keynote value:
Things I tried but didn't work:
1- I created a rectangular filled region with a solid fill pattern and all black but it shows underneath my keynote value:
2- I created an annotation family that hosts the same filled region and then I linked it inside my keynote family. So a nested annotation family. Things look good inside the family editor:
But the moment I load the keynote into my Revit project, the black box goes underneath the keynote value:
Of course, once I figure out the process, the black box will be changed to white to hide the numbers. I chose black to show you the process. So why do I need this? Let's look at the sample keynote database that comes with Revit:
What if I want to use Wood Laminate and Plastic Laminate and Metal Laminate in my Revit model but want all the numbers to show 06400? Is this possible? I tried to change the database text file but Revit requires a unique number for each row so I can't just change or remove the letters/numbers after the dot inside the TXT keynote database file. One simple solution is to use two keynotes, one for the number and one for the text. Yes, I am aware. But I am just curious if there is any way to box or force the keynote value to show only 5 digits or hide the numbers after the "."
Thank you in advance for your help
