Adding Custom Fields to a Title Block
In general, a title block contains placeholders for 2 types of information:
■ Project-specific information . This information applies to all sheets in the project. Examples: project name,
client information, project address.
■ Sheet-specific information . This information differs for each sheet within a project. Examples: sheet
name, sheet number, reviewer, sheet issue date.
When you add a sheet to a project, the project-specific information in the title block displays the appropriate
information. You can enter the sheet-specific information directly on the sheet.
Revit Architecture provides default title block families. These title blocks include some project-specific
information fields and some sheet-specific information fields. If you want to add more information (custom
fields) to a title block, use shared parameters.
NOTE Use shared parameters (not project parameters) so that they are available to the title block families and
the projects that use them.
To add custom fields to a title block
1 Create (or edit) a shared parameter file, and add shared parameters to the file.
