Create sheets from Views

[ipselute]

Let's say we have a very tall building with many many  different floor plans. Would it be wonderful to select all those plan views, right-click on them and select "Create sheets from Views", meaning assign one view per sheets and add a standard title block having same name as the view?

Please don't say Dynamo (again!). Dynamo is like VBA. Few people use VBA daily. I don't want to end up using Dynamo more than i use Revit.

I will start by saying I am the developer of ARUtils so please take the following with that in mind.

The functionality you are after (and much more) is in ARUtils - Scope Box Views. This lets you create the views (plans, elevations, sections) based on scope boxes and also place them on sheets at the same time. As this is all done using Scope boxes defined in the project you can have multiple scope boxes e.g. an overall scope box, perhaps lift core scope boxes, east wing, west wing, etc. Views are named according to user defined naming conventions but will include the scope box names. Clearly this in excess of your request.

A simpler routine does in fact just let you select the views (plans, elevations, sections) and dump them on sheets. The plans can also be aligned across sheets. Legends can also be dumped onto multiple sheets in the same location. If dumping smaller views they will be arrayed across one or more sheets.

There is also a brilliant extension to pyRevit called myRevitMEP which offers batch creation of dependent views depending on scope boxes and a rename views tool to get their naming right.
