Revit Tips: View Title Wrapping

View title lengths can sometimes wrap in awkward ways in Revit.

For instance, a view may be named "ENLARGED POWER AND COMMUNICATION PLAN - EIGHTH FLOOR - JS-1 ADA" but when it's placed on a sheet, it ends up looking like this:

ENLARGED POWER AND COMMUNICATION PLAN - EIGHTH FLOOR - JS-1
ADA

​
Not exactly what we want to see graphically.
If you go into the View Properties, you can see two parameters under Identity Data that can help you fix this. The first is View Name, which is the name of the view as you will see it in the Project Browser and as it will appear on the sheet.
Below View Name is Title on Sheet, which will override the View Name on the sheet. You can also control where the line break will occur in this parameter by holding 'Ctrl' and pressing 'Enter'. Using this approach, we can change how the View title appears on the sheet to something a little more graphically sensible:

ENLARGED POWER AND COMMUNICATION PLAN
EIGHTH FLOOR - JS-1 ADA

Additionally, since Title on Sheet does not need to be unique, you can use this parameter to give multiple views the same name on the sheet.

Title on Sheet is something that should generally be used sparingly, only when absolutely necessary. Having to manage the Title on Sheet parameter as well as the View Name for every single view could lead to confusion and consume time better used on other aspects of the model.
