Assembly Browser Organization

Assembly Browser Organization

I have come to the realization that the contractor side is kind of the red headed step child of the industry. But a organization for the assembly views would be fantastic. We can organize just about everything else but no this.

 Currently you can organize you views, sheets and schedules; there is no way to group or reorder your assemblies AND there is no way to group or sort the views and sheets under each assembly; assembly sheets are always at the bottom of the list.

The issue we have is once we have created a large number of assemblies the list becomes very long; see attached snips. You then find yourself endless scrolling and expanding/collapsing tabs. I would like to see a browser organization for Assemblies with similar filtering ,sorting and grouping options.

 

We don't use assembly sheets either, see why in; Browser Organization for Assemblies - Idea #2

The Assembly tab in the Project Browser should have browser organization. Views, schedules and sheets are already set up like that so I don't see why Assemblies can't be organized as well.

We want this!
It´s a huge hassle to navigate through manufacturingdrawings. Sometimes there are about 500 drawings to scroll down..

It Would be nice if Revit would automatically group assemblies into collapsable category inside of the project browser. Similar the way sheets work. Unfortunately, if the project has hundreds of assemblies, it makes it time consuming to browse and scroll through the list trying to find exactly what's needed.

Yes, required! It's now 2024, this software costs an arm and a leg as a sub and this basic functionality is not there?? Patch this in, pronto! In older versions of Revit too!

Some packages such as BIMrx and eVolve have an option to display the assembly sheets in the Sheets group in the project browser, so it can be done. It should not be a mystery for the common user.

Requiring a 3rd party addon for a basic functionality in a subbed product should be completely redundant. It's not about not having any way to do it at all, but not having this baked into an overpriced product by default to begin with. Loading in addons for every missing basic feature causes ridiculous bloat and increases instability. That should not be a mystery to AD.

Assemblies in general just seem to be much unloved. 

Not being able to include them in Design 

Options can be a real pain sometimes.

This would be a wonderful addition. Place the Assemblies up near the sheets and allow for shorting. I would also like to see some different option on sorting famlies. This list is so incredibly long to try and go through. If there was some way to columize or stack the families so the scroll like does not appear so long it would be fantastic.
