Populate a list of sheets with yes/no parameters?

[kwandrew2]

I'm not sure the process for this if it is even possible but its been requested of me to come up with a method for getting a list of sheets (In list format, not as a schedule ex: A1.11, A1.21, C3.23) to "auto populate" into a detail family. So the for this is as follows, the State of Iowa has a special signature block which they require all sheets covered by the signing architect/engineer to be listed (See attached image). My initial thoughts for this was to create some yes/no shared parameters (assigned to sheets) which when checked, that sheet number would populate into "sheets covered by this seal" (see attached). I'm thinking this isn't possible without some outside programming but figured I'd try...any help would be greatly appreciated with this!

As far as I know, this isn't possible with Revit out-of-the-box.

I do think this would be fairly easy using Dynamo or a custom macro.

Here's an example for you

Thanks much guys! One more reason for me to learn dynamo. I appreciate the guidance and file references!

This is doable with Revit native sheet indexes as well. Filter the sheet index via a Seal parameter equals yes.

Without filter


With filter


A project parameter was used in this example. It could be a shared parameter as well.

We filter by package using the text shared parameter. Referencing a master sheet index, one can easily enter text, (65% Design Development Set) by which the placed sheet index with filters will automatically update. Our sheets also have the seal controlled by yes/no, but not for filtering purposes. We also added a sort parameter to indicate 'Volume' as we have twelve volumes of documents to list in our current project.

You guys are missing the last step of the OP's request, which is to FILL OUT that stamp as a list. Dynamo CAN do it, you would just need to add it to the end of Daniels script. You can concatenate the list of sheets with a separator, and input that in to a parameter in another component (the stamp itself).

[DanielHurtubise]

That's what the setparameter at the end does.

[Twiceroadsfool]

But its setting a parameter of the sheets, isn't it? I. Saying it needs to concatenate and write to then seal itself. Or did I miss that part?

First i filter based on the Seal value (on/off)
Second i get the Sheet Number from the filtered ;ist
Third i pass that list into the parameter
