Adding Revisions to a Sheet Index

Recently, I had someone make a request for adding an X to a column in a sheet index schedule for all the revisions that sheet had. Currently, they have to do it by hand and it is tedious.

To get this to work, I added a parameter for each revision called "Seq #" (with # being the revision sequence number). I looped through each revision on each sheet and looked up it's sequence number, then add an X to the parameter matching it.

Here is a video showing how it fills in the sheet index schedule:

And the code...

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

public void SheetRevisions() { Document doc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document; using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, "Revisions on Sheet")) { t.Start(); // loop through all the sheets in the model foreach (ViewSheet vs in new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(ViewSheet))) { // get a list of all the Revision Ids for this sheet IList<ElementId> revIds = vs.GetAllRevisionIds(); // if at least 1 Revision, continue if (revIds.Count > 0) { // loop through each of the Revision Ids foreach (ElementId eid in revIds) { // get the actual Revision element Element elem = doc.GetElement(eid); Revision rev = elem as Revision; // add an X to the parameter named "Seq #" vs.LookupParameter("Seq " + rev.SequenceNumber.ToString()).Set("X"); } } } t.Commit(); } }
