Sheet Navigator
Overview
Sheet / View Navigator opens a small modeless palette that walks your sheets — and optionally every view type — in exact Project Browser order, without you touching the browser tree. Previous and Next step one item at a time and wrap around at the ends; Parent jumps from the active view, legend, or schedule to the sheet it is placed on; and a Go to field jumps straight to a typed sheet number. A scope dropdown narrows the walk to all, odd, or even sheets, to the members of a sheet set, or to every sheet that shares the current sheet's value of a chosen parameter.
How to use
- In the B45 Labs | Coordination tab, open the Documentation panel and click Sheet / View Navigator — the palette opens collapsed, anchored to the top-right of the Revit window.
- Click the expand glyph to reveal the Previous, Next, and Parent buttons.
- Use Previous and Next to step through sheets in Project Browser order; the sequence wraps around at the first and last sheet.
- Tick Navigate all view types to walk views, sheets, and schedules together, each within its own Project Browser section, based on the active view.
- Set the scope dropdown to All sheets, Odd sheets, Even sheets, Within a sheet set, or Same parameter value to narrow what Previous and Next visit.
- Click Parent to jump from the active view, legend, or schedule to its host sheet — if it is placed on more than one sheet, pick the target from the list.
- Type a sheet number in the Go to field to jump straight to that sheet.
Tips & Notes
- Page Down and Page Up navigate while the palette is open — they work on sheets and graphical views, but not on schedules, where those keys keep scrolling the rows, so use the buttons there.
- Hold Ctrl with Page Down or Page Up to jump two at a time, or Ctrl+Shift to jump four — fast travel through a large sheet set.
- The palette stays open and follows document switches, re-reading the sheet list for the newly active model, so you can keep it docked while you work.
- Same parameter value walks only the sheets that share the current sheet's value of a chosen text parameter (for example Discipline) — a quick way to page through one discipline's set.
Limitations
- Parent only resolves for views, legends, or schedules that are actually placed on a sheet; a sheet, or an unplaced view, has no parent.
- Odd, Even, and Within a sheet set apply to sheets only — with Navigate all view types on, views and schedules ignore those scopes.
