Hey Steve
WOW You've been busy!
Had a gap between clients? Or did you eventually take that time management course.

Keep in touch!

Nah, no gaps thankfully! I just start topics as I think of em and eventually get around to wrapping them up. More like "Writer's Block" subsiding 8-)

Grasshopper,
Glad you find the articles helpful. I'm sorry to mislead you in my comment on David's blog. When I said detail component I should have said, Annotation Symbol.

Make a symbol family that is the actual size you want the keyplan (plotted size). Use filled regions, lines and text to define each part of the building. Now you can assign the Visible parameter for any or all of them to control the visibility of the parts.

Loaded into the titleblock family you can connect the parameters to the same ones you add in the titleblock family (instance) and this will give you sheet by sheet control over the display of the parts of the keyplan.

Yes, you can do this right inside a titleblock itself but if you need to do this in several versions of the title block as you go through different design phases the annotation symbol will let you avoid remaking it as much...maybe?...design changes might anyway eh?
