Referencing Sheet referencing wrong sheet

[jeff.millett]

I want to be able to create a ceiling plan callout on a ceiling plan view that is placed on a sheet. Then place the callout on a sheet with a view title that displays the referencing sheet (the one the ceiling plan is placed on). 

I have a view title family with a label to display referencing sheet. It works fine most of the time however it often references the wrong sheet.  In the case of my ceiling detail it references the sheet the floor plan is placed on not the sheet the ceiling plan is placed on.  Again the ceiling callout was created on the ceiling plan view. 

Any thoughts?  I did check that the view range of the ceiling plan and the ceiling plan callout are both tight against the ceiling well above the floor plan cut plain.

I'd appreciate any  assistance as I have not found an explanation in Revit documentation.

Re: Referencing Sheet referencing wrong sheet ?

 or "Referencing Sheet referencing wrong View?"

Solution:

activate view - go to properties - Change your "Underlay" to recent level - Change "Underlay Orientation" to "Reflected Ceiling Plan"

Hope this helps

I wanted to include a post which elaborates on how Revit lists the referencing sheets when a tag appears across multiple views.  There is also a specific issue, most seen with dependent views, included with the post second-half:

Please let us know if this appears similar to the behavior you are experiencing.

Thank you,

Can you pl repost the link.

Are you by chance using Dependent Views? Or Duplicated Views?

Have posted this on a similar thread...

The views are independent and are not affected by phases.

Consider this scenario,

A callout detail 1:5, has been created from a parent 1:20 elevation. The 1:20 elevation is on a Sheet 1, the 1:5 detail is placed on sheet 2. Both of them cross-reference each other correctly. That is 1:5 says it's coming from sheet 1, and sheet 1 says the 1:5 detail is on sheet 2. All good, now Sheet 3 has another elevation at 1:20, which needs the same 1:5 detail, when this view is referenced by using the 'Reference another view'option, the 1:5 detail referencing sheet no changes from Sheet 1 to the new sheet 3, while the original sheet 1 still reference the same 1:50 detail on sheet 2.

Ideally, the back referencing on sheet 2 should not change.

The solution to this to you use a 'view reference' rather than a callout.
