Validate Revit Title Block

Introduction

Validate Revit Sheet Metadata with a CMap PIM Project.

Validate without Revit Revisions

This workflow Validates the parameters in Revit against Metadata in the CMap PIM Project.

Specifically:

• Sheet name and number
• CMap PIM Revision
• Status
• Classification
• Issue status in CMap PIM

Your model will need to be configured to work with CMap PIM. See the guide below for details.

Validate without Revit Revisions

Launching the Revit Add-In

Once installed, a CMap menu tab will appear in the Revit ribbon. The first task is to log in to your Microsoft 365 account. This will happen if you click either of the CMap buttons in the ribbon. Logging in tells the add-in which projects it can access in CMap PIM, based on Group membership and permissions. If the Tab is missing in the Ribbon follow the Install instructions in the guide below.

Select Sheets

The Revit Add-In will enumerate all of the Sheet views in the Revit model and display them in a table. You can choose which Sheets to Display or Validate in the following ways:

•Filter

•Sheet Sets

•Search

To update the add-in with any changes made to views, click Refresh.

To clear a selection, click Clear Filters. Sheets that are highlighted in Blue will Validate and Publish.

Note: If none are highlighted, the process will apply to all Sheet Views in the model. This guide is 
to Validate without Revision Schedule integration.

Filter and Search

• User the Filters to show only the Sheet Views you need.
• If you have saved Sheet Sets in your models these will display in the drop-down menu.

You can sort by Name, Number, or any other value by clicking on the column headings.

Validate

Clicking on Validate, will check your model against the Project Information Parameter previously set. Follow the 'Configure Model' guide for details.

Validate will perform the following steps to highlighted Sheets:

• Establish if the Sheet Record exists in CMap PIM already.
• Establish if the Parameters conform with the Project Standard.
• Enumerate current Drawing Title, Revit Revision, CMap PIM Revision, Status and classification.
• Set the next CMap PIM Revision based on the numerical sequence.

Note: If no Sheet views are selected, clicking Validate will apply to all sheets in the Model.

The Message column in the Add-In will warn if there are any problems that need to be resolved before Sheets can be published.
