Automate Revit Sheet Workflows
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I want to stop burning hours on two repetitive chores inside Revit and hand them over to Dynamo / pyRevit automation:
1. Mass-placing views on sheets
• Typical job: drop 100 views onto 100 matching sheets (sheet and view share the same number) in one click.
• The routine must look at the project browser, match numbers, create sheets if they do not already exist, then centre each view on its sheet.
2. Continuation labels
• Add “CONT’D” style tags at the top of a drawing and matching “CONTINUED FROM” tags bottom-right and bottom-left.
• The text style, offset, and visibility need to respect each project’s title-block family automatically.
I do not have any existing scripts, so you will be starting from scratch. While different projects use slightly different naming habits, the logic is consistent: the script should read the sheet or view number, detect patterns (e.g., A-101, M-201.1) and apply the same rule set on any model I run it on.
Deliverables
• Dynamo graphs or a pyRevit extension (whichever you prefer) with clean, commented code.
• A short README explaining required packages and how to run the tools.
• One brief screen-share or video demo proving both routines work on a sample project.
Acceptance
I will load the script(s) into Revit 2022+ and expect them to:
✓ Place a batch of views onto freshly created or existing sheets with correct alignment.
✓ Insert continuation labels in their exact positions without manual tweaking.
✓ Run error-free when the model uses a different title-block family or sheet numbering pattern.
If you are confident with the Revit API and comfortable in Dynamo or Python, let’s get these dull tasks off my plate quickly.
