Adding Custom Fields to a Title Block

In general, a title block contains placeholders for 2 types of information:

Project-specific information. This information applies to all sheets in the project. Examples: project name, client information, project address.
Sheet-specific information. This information differs for each sheet within a project. Examples: sheet name, sheet number, reviewer, sheet issue date.

When you add a sheet to a project, the project-specific information in the title block displays the appropriate information. You can enter the sheet-specific information directly on the sheet.

Revit provides default title block families. These title blocks include some project-specific information fields and some sheet-specific information fields. If you want to add more information (custom fields) to a title block, use shared parameters.

Note: Use shared parameters (not project parameters) so that they are available to the title block families and the projects that use them.

To add custom fields to a title block

Create (or edit) a shared parameter file, and add shared parameters to the file.
Click Manage tabSettings panel (Shared Parameters). Add one shared parameter for each new project-specific or sheet-specific field. See Shared Parameters.
Add the shared parameters to the project.
See Creating Shared Project Parameters.

When adding each parameter using the Parameter Properties dialog, under Categories, select one of the following:
- Sheets for a sheet-specific field
- Project Information for a project-specific field
Now these fields are available to the project.
Add the shared parameters to a title block using labels.
See Labels.

Note: You can add static text to describe a parameter in the title block. See Text Notes.
To save the title block, on the Quick Access toolbar, click (Save).

After loading the title block into a project and adding sheets, you can see the custom fields on the sheets.

Project-specific fields: Click Manage tabSettings panel (Project Information) to display the shared parameters that belong to the Project Information category. You can change these values in that dialog or on a sheet. Whenever you change project-specific information, Revit updates all sheets in the project with the changes. See Entering Project-Specific Information.
Sheet-specific fields: The shared parameters that belong to the Sheets category display on the Properties palette for the sheet. You can change these values on the Properties palette or on a sheet. These changes apply only to the individual sheet. See Entering Sheet-Specific Information.
