Wishlist Granted! Revit View Title Alignment – At Long Last

Continuing the Ideate Software, Graitec Group blog series, Wishlist Granted, this article highlights a highly requested feature: Revit View Title Alignment.

Improving Revit Sheet Management

As Revit users strive to improve Revit sheet management, one top-voted Autodesk Revit Idea focuses on gaining more control over the placement of Revit views and view titles on sheets. With nearly a thousand votes and counting, this request emphasizes the need for easier, more precise Revit view placement.

Back in 2016, Purvi Irwin logged the idea with these important details:

More Control Over View Placement on Sheets:

“Guide Grids are not the most easy to use and useful tool in Revit. It would be much better if view titles and views could snap to reference planes, or some other “non plot” element within a sheet border. I hate to say it, but AutoCAD does this better. Are you going to let AutoCAD be better than you, Revit?!”

Revit View Title Alignment

To ensure your views are organized within your sheet set in a logical way so they are easy to use, there are three tools in the IdeateApps collection – Ideate Align, Ideate SheetManager and Ideate Clone – with features designed to help achieve this. One improvement recently made to this process is the ability to also control the view title. This feature is available in Revit 2022 only due to API limitations in the older versions, but it really makes Ideate tools shine.

In the image below, you’ll see that the views on the selected sheets can now be aligned with the sheet on the left, while at the same time allowing the option to align the view titles. We will, of course, also match the view title length at the same time.

For more information on how to align view titles, please review this Ideate Software topic, Help: How to Align View Titles.
