Project Browser Sprite/Icon for View Placed on Sheet

Project Browser Sprite/Icon for View Placed on Sheet

Of course you can filter the PB to show views placed or not placed on sheets... but a small sprite or icon (see below) that indicates views that have been placed on a sheet would be very expedient.

Hi,

 

 

AS we know, it is not easy to check which sheet a view is placed in Project Browser. 

 

If Revit adds "Drawing Number where a view is placed" as prefix into a view name, it would be very helpful for a user to figure out which sheet included the view with the prefix.

 

For example.

 

If a plan is in A001. The plan's number in the sheet is "1"

Then, the plan view's name is in Project Browser is like below.

 

1/A001 - Floor Plan: LEVEL OO

 

 

This function can be an option within "Browser Organization". So, users can choose whether they apply this function or not.

i fully support this idea, it will be of great use while actively working on a project.

@sasha.crotty  unarchive this and help in making Revit just a little bit better

Re-opening this thread. I will also combine with this similar Idea: Project Browser Sprite/Icon for View Placed on Sheet - Autodesk Community

In addition to the model views, it would be helpful if the panel schedules also had a visual indicator in the browser when they are placed onto a sheet.

 

Panel schedules don't show up in view lists, so there is no way to filter a schedule to show whether the panel schedule is on a sheet without visually checking every sheet and keeping track manually.

 

Furthermore, the panel schedule name in the browser is not connected to the panel name parameter, so if re-naming of the panel name occurs the schedules can become somewhat disheveled.

Hi @Anonymous, @Kirby.Sonnenberg, @daniel.vasilca,

I think our Project Browser ++ might be what you are looking for. Among other things it adds little icons next to the views from which you can open the respective sheet.

Please give it a try and tell me what you think!

I placed an idea a few years ago about intorducing a warning for deleting views that are placed on a sheet. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/warning-for-deleting-view-which-is-on-a-sheet/idc-p/10665...

Hopefully Autodesk can combine it with this WIP feature which shows an icon beside views placed on a sheet.
