Smart revisions - add notes and schedule of changes

Hello forum!

 

Trying to organize revisions here.

 

When we issue a revision to a (set of) drawings, we like to accumulate a number of changes before issuing a revision - usually weekly. So rather than issuing revision A, named "doors changed", we issue revision A <a whole bunch of changes>. This means that the description of the revision is less important (usually something generic like "client changes" or "design development"). However, it is important to keep track of the little changes both in a schedule and on the sheet.

 

Is it possible to combine an instance parameter (in this case a text and a number) to a revision cloud tag and then schedule it? I'm looking for something shown below...

The orange thing would be the revision tag, in which the "A" is driven by the revision number, the "13" is an instance parameter linked to a description in the legends. You could have multiple A/13 tags (and on multiple sheets) and the schedule automatically shows the numbers of the tags that are on the sheet.

 

Once you've issued the revision and start a new one (B) you can hide the tags and somehow filter the schedule to only show the latest revision notes (now Rev B).

 

I think what I'm looking for is a combination of the Note Block schedule and the revision tag. It's important to keep the revision capabilities such as the issued checkbox and numbering per sheet. Is there a dynamo way to accomplish this? A plugin that I overlooked?

 

All ideas welcome!

The OOTB Revision cloud has 2 instance parameters you can reference and pull into the tag -- Type and Comments.   Wouldn't those work for you?

The Comments field of a Revision Cloud would be an ideal place to enter the information. Unfortunately, there is no way to report it in a schedule in Revit. You may want to look into a Dynamo script to write the value of the Revision Cloud's Comments to schedule-able elements, such as Generic Annotation Symbols, or Sheets.

Thank you! I had dismissed those as being part of actual model elements, but now that I come to think of it, revision clouds aren't attached to objects so that could work. I'll do some testing, also to schedule it and get back.

So, the mark and comment definitely works. I'll just be searching for how to schedule those. Thanks for your help!

When I suggested using the Revision Cloud's "Comments" field, I wasn't implying you could schedule those comments.  That's not possible.  You can get the Tag to display them though.
