BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2017 Configuration Guide

Synchronizing multiple sheets per drawing

If your Revit drawings contain multiple sheets, you can configure the Revit link to store the sheet properties in the vault so that users can view and modify the values in Meridian.

To synchronize multiple sheets per drawing:

1. Enable the Synchronize the title blocks in all layouts option described in Configuring title block updates.
2. In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings. The settings for each application link appear in property pages in the right pane.
3. Click the Revit tab. The Revit link’s settings page appears in the right pane.

4. Click the Edit button to modify the settings.

   Tip    To export the settings file to your computer, click the Export button. This can be useful if you would rather edit the file in your favorite text editor. You can then copy your changes to the Clipboard and paste them into Configurator.

5. Locate the section of the file that begins with [SheetList].
6. Modify the settings using the descriptions in the following table. If a setting is missing, default values are applied.

7. Locate the section of the file that begins with [PropertyMap]. This section specifies the column names for the properties of each title block as they will appear to users in Meridian when they set the values for each sheet as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User's Guide. Each line should map a Revit property to a Meridian property using the following format:

   Multiple Sheets.<Property Name> = <InternalColumnName>[.<DisplayColumnName>]

   Where Multiple Sheets is the predefined Revit property category used by the link. The following example shows the available column names.

   Multiple Sheets.Sheet Number = SheetNumber.Sheet Number
   Multiple Sheets.Sheet Name = SheetName.Sheet Name
   Multiple Sheets.Designed By = DesignedBy.Designed By
   Multiple Sheets.Drawn By = DrawnBy.Drawn By
   Multiple Sheets.Approved By = ApprovedBy.Approved By

8. Click OK.
