Make Dependent Views Individually Sheet Aware

Make Dependent Views Individually Sheet Aware

When following the UK BIM Protocol for Revit to the letter, it is required to filter views by the following constraint: "Sheet Name Equal to <None">.

As can be seen from this picture, even though the Dependent views are placed on sheets, they are listed as not placed due to the Parent not being placed.

A workaround would be to pretend the Parent view is one of the dependent views and place that on a sheet. Still, if one of the children were not placed, the schedule would not pick it up as only the parent is considered.

This would help when using dynamo to target views too!  I recently made a dynamo script to get revision cloud information (since Revit can't do that natively) and a large chunk of the script is deals with finding the child views and identifying which of those actually has revisions and is on a sheet.

It seems like what's really being asked for is an ability (as an option) to list "parent" and dependent views separately in the Project Browser?

 

Or maybe they could be shown gray/disabled in such cases where the parent or child views wouldn't normally appear at the current location? That way, you'd still see the dependent views grouped & listed under their parent in the "on sheet" section (but the parent would be gray) and you'd still see child views under their parent in the "not on sheet" section (but any dependent views on a sheet would be gray).

 

A related idea: deleting parent views should ALWAYS give a warning

I think Lionel has hit the nail on the head.

Sorry, The screencast has been deleted ( I think).
Is there another site where I can found the solution for the dependant views?
