Text in 2011

[Barryfisher]

When using the text numbering in Revit 2011 is there any way of leaving a few lines blank before going to the next number. I need to show a small detail between text number 5 and 6.

Also can you change the distance between the lines? I have 2.5mm text but would like to increase the vertical distance say between line 1 and line 2.

It's far better than 2010 but still seems a bit restricted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Barry

I’ve included a few responses to your questions below:

1.  There is no great way to leave blank spaces; the typical SHIFT + ENTER works until you complete the text box.  Then it assigns numbers to the blank lines [this is a known issue the development team is working on currently].

While not ideal you would need to stop the automatic numbers at the space, and then pick up after the detail with manual numbers and periods after.

Or create a second text box and mask the numbers before the number you stopped on below, using an approach similar to the post below:

2.  Regarding the distance between the lines unfortunately there is no current control with this.  It adjusts around the text size, but you cannot override it further to specify the spacing of the rows vertically.

I would suggest forwarding this as a feature request below:
