Index sheet count suggestion for linked file containing sheets.

Index sheet count suggestion for linked file containing sheets.

Would it be possible for Revit Sheet index to ignore multiple instances of a linked file with embedded sheets?

 

This has not been an issue until now but we started to make what we call container files for elements are are used in multiple places in a model and reused from project to project.  For instance we set up a "container" file for an emergency egress stair,  In the file we put all the sheets so when we need it for the next project we can copy this "container" file to the new project, update the project info and 90% of the work is done.   The issue is when we add this file to our building and place multiple instances of the file into the project, our sheet index counts each instance of the sheet. Our index is set to so "ITEMIZE EVERY INSTANCE" is unchecked so visually the index is correct but for the stair sheets it still counts in this case all 4 instances.  So if you manually count them all you get X # of sheets.  But at the bottom the total it is actually 3 sheet higher because of the 3 extra instances of that sheet within the index data. 

 

I would love to see a IGNORE MULTIPLE INSTANCE or something along those line in the sheet count.
