Change Title Blocks
Review and swap title blocks across a whole sheet set, with a preview of every change before it is written.
One list shows every sheet with its current title block. Pick a new one per sheet, for all checked sheets, or swap one type everywhere. Preview says exactly what will change and why anything is skipped; Apply writes it as one undo step.
In Revit, the Change Title Blocks button still opens the Title Block Manager window.
“Review and change the title block of many sheets at once, with a preview, skip reasons and one Undo step.”
Workflow
How it works
- 1
Find the sheets
Search by number, name or title block with * and ? wildcards, or build an Advanced Filter on any sheet parameter (contains, equals, starts with, is empty, greater than…) combined with AND/OR. Show filters include Without title block, With several title blocks and Using <type>.
- 2
Choose the title block
Pick a Family and Type (with usage counts, and a Recent list) and Set for checked sheets, or change a single row’s “New title block”. Swap everywhere replaces one type on every sheet that uses it.
- 3
Preview
Each sheet shows Will change, No change, Skipped or Failed with a reason. Nothing is touched yet.
- 4
Apply
One transaction, one undo step. Each sheet runs in its own sub-transaction, so a sheet can never be left without a title block. Copy report pastes the result into Excel.
Capabilities
What’s inside
Keep instance values
Revit drops instance parameter values when the family changes. The tool restores writable parameters with the same name, matching shared parameters by GUID.
Add where missing
Sheets without a title block get one placed at the origin, if you ask for it.
From Revit selection
Tick sheets from what is selected in the Project Browser, from selected title blocks or viewports, or the active sheet.
Options that protect you
Skip sheets with several title blocks, skip pinned title blocks, select changed title blocks after apply.
Live with Revit
The window is modeless; an Undo or edit in Revit refreshes the list, and runs always target the document the list was loaded from.
History and log
The last 100 runs are kept across documents, with a daily log for 14 days.
Safety guarantees
- Placeholder sheets, grouped title blocks and title blocks owned by another user are always skipped with a reason
- Apply asks first above 50 sheets
- A Revit error rolls the run back; warnings are dismissed and reported
- No modal Revit dialogs during a run
