Sheet Instance Properties

Modify the properties of multiple sheets in one operation.

You can change the Sheet Issue Date for several sheets in one step. In the Project Browser, while pressing Ctrl, click to select non-adjacent sheet names, or while pressing Shift, click to select adjacent sheet names. Then right-click, and click Properties. When you use this method, changes that you make to the sheet properties affect all selected sheets.

Note: To track the time each sheet was printed, Revit displays a date and time stamp on sheets. To format the display of this stamp, modify the regional and language settings on your computer.

To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
