This can be quite cumbersome, especially when we don't know the actual revision number until we are actually ready to issue or we wroking on two or three revisions at a time. We use the Issued To and Issued By parameters in the revision schedule and delta. This allows us to number exactly the way we want to and still keep track of all the revisions during a project.Chris Beardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343803588013165655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-36462638191310359402013-07-14T20:23:44.886-07:002013-07-14T20:23:44.886-07:00Good post.

We have Revision lists with a combination of letters and numbers. An example is A B C 1 D 2 3 4 E 5. Like Dan above, we have information issues (our alpha chars) interspersed with construction issues (numeric chars). This system works well for us.<br />Anthony.<br />AnthonyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066705482789197040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-30366831117629120992013-07-11T09:54:23.265-07:002013-07-11T09:54:23.265-07:00Couldn't agree more.

Mining companies quite often require intermediate revisions for review before they will release the documents at the next real revision (ie. 1a, 1b etc before releasing rev 2) and there are some good reasons for this. Greater fulexibility of the revisions in Revit is definitely needed.<br /><br />FWIW the RTV Drawing Manager add in will provide this functionality (as will, I think, the X-Rev version)otherwise people will have to continue with other workarounds.Dan Morrisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-36464849288348001832013-07-10T15:36:39.899-07:002013-07-10T15:36:39.899-07:00I do agree however there's a hint to crack it ...I do agree however there's a hint to crack it to A1,A2, etc in the revision. Autodesk Revit won't allow it however use the "issued by" as the alphabet and put that "issued by" next to the numberic on the title sheet. Problem solved for those who don't use "issued by".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-12196282681730786462013-07-10T12:30:00.212-07:002013-07-10T12:30:00.212-07:00Amen!

Don't make mistakes and you don't have revisions. :)<br /><br />I think the tough part of Revisions is how absolutely inflexible they are compared to almost everything else. We can add parameters to just about every other aspect of Revit except for the Revision system. And that's dumb because in the end it's simply an intelligent scheduler.<br /><br />We should be able to expand the base functionality by adding any parameter we want to a Revisions Information category and schedule that freely. Then export the schedule to Excel and/or generate reports of project revisions and overall project progress.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345435832163223014noreply@blogger.com
