Setup full sets on multiple sized sheets

[andy]

I have used AutoCAD, Architectural Desktop, and AutoCAD Architecture for the past 25+ years to do residential and commercial design.  I have played with Revit on and off over the past 15 years but have never had time to convert all of our content to Revit, until COVID-19.  So, in the process of converting and learning I have a few questions, the first of which is setting up prints for multiple sized sheets.  Here's the situation:

We typically provide full sets of drawings at 1/8" scale AND at 1/4" scale because some subcontractors prefer one to the other.  In AutoCAD, we use sheet sets to setup full sets at each scale.  Is there anything like this in Revit?  I can't just "print to half scale" because of a few reasons.  Printing to half scale means the scale on the drawing is not correct.  We also print the architectural seal on the drawings so that means the seal on the "half scale" drawings does not meet the states size requirements.  Also, sometimes we print 1/4" on 24"x36" paper and 1/8" on 11"x17" paper, other times we print 1/4" on 30"x42" and 1/8" on 18"x24".  So you can see, the paper is not half the size of the original sheet.

So let me know if this make sense and point me in the direction if there is a way to do this.

Hi @andy 

I have had to do this in the past. Because your plans are going to be different scales and as you said just printing half size is not an option, you would have to have two sets, where you are setting up different size sheets, and different size plans.  There are a lot of downsides to doing this though, because your annotation changes depending on the scale of the drawings.  There could also a lot of setup and duplication of work, if you are going to a halfsize set though, you may not want to show all of the same dimensions, if you do, then I would duplicate with detailing a sheet that is done and then change the scale.
