windows and doors legends

hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to display the information of doors or windows automatically when placed in a legend view instead of writing it manually by texts

No. Not in legend view. Those are very basic non-intelligent views.

 

There are several alternatives though...for instance you can use assemblies and assembly views those can serve as legends and are live linked to the model element

Have you tried using 3rd party extensions/plug ins? there are some which create dynamic Legends displaying doors' elevations with parameters such as Type Mark/Type Comments...as a matter of fact there is one on Autodesk Store called Dynamic Legends, another is Tools4Revit

 

An alternative also would be Phasing...using live model elements set to a Phase before Existing or before New Construction (Created and demolished same phase) where those elements are used as a Type Legends and it works for all families

you mean for ex: I select a door in my plan, and then choose it phase, and then what?

I mean the following:

 

  • Go to Manage >> Phasing
  • Create a Phase (should be first in the linst) call it lets say "Legend Elements"
  • Create another Phase (place 2 in the list) call it "Demolish Legend"
  • Create views and set them to "Legend Elements"
  • Set phasing filters "show all"
  • Place all the all the elements you want to annotate (Phase created would be in this case "Legend Elements"
  • Set the Demolished Parameter of the above elements "Demolish Legend"
    • When you do that, those elements will not show on the schedules/quantities of the New Construction phase.

Tag and annotate plan views and elevations of those elements (callout details...), place on a sheet and use as a live legend...whenever u change anything to the types or type comments those update automatically

 

I'm sure you can find some youtubes on this topic because it is quite a common methods may use or at least used to use if they are not using a plugin that does something similar

I always put the Legend Phase at the bottom of the Phase list and set the Legend views to Show New only.
