Creating Sheets

00:09

ERIC WING: Although this one is easy, we can't skip it.

00:12

I always say, if it isn't on a sheet, it doesn't exist.

00:16

So what I'd like to do in this video

00:18

is create a drawing sheet.

00:20

We will then drag our views onto that sheet.

00:23

I suppose we better make some modifications to the viewport

00:26

while we're there.

00:30

Let's jump into Revit.

00:32

I'm going to open my Medical Center parking

00:34

garage underscore 3.

00:37

But as you know if you're following

00:38

along video and video, just keep going

00:41

with the one you started with.

00:44

This case, it doesn't really matter what view we land on.

00:47

What I want to do is I want to make a sheet.

00:51

So in our project browser, let's scroll down the sheets all.

00:56

That's right click on sheets all.

01:01

Let's go to new sheet.

01:05

The default is an E1 30 by 42.

01:08

It's good enough for me, I like it it's nice and big.

01:11

Click OK.

01:13

The first thing I'd like to do is go up

01:15

to level 2 structural plan.

01:20

Select level 2 structural plan, hold down the pick button,

01:24

drag it over your sheets, and then park it

01:30

wherever you want it.

01:32

Very nice, there it is.

01:37

Our path reinforcing is annotated and displayed.

01:42

Our sections not quite.

01:44

It's OK, let's figure out why.

01:49

In our project browser, let's scroll down

01:51

to sections building sections.

01:54

Let's grab section at level 2, and see

01:56

if it'll fit on a sheet.

01:60

Of course, it does, and put right about here.

02:10

While I'm at it, let's grab enlarged slab edge.

02:16

Notice temporarily that call-out disappeared,

02:19

but notice this now is annotated.

02:22

Revit's keeping track.

02:25

Also noticed that when I go to place this,

02:28

it's either going to pick up the actual building.

02:30

But if it's at a different scale,

02:32

it will pick up our view title.

02:35

So pick a spot like right about here.

02:39

And notice that it picked up that annotation.

02:44

Very nice.

02:45

I don't care for the default numbering.

02:48

Just come down and fill out some information on a sheet.

02:51

For the owner, we'll call it Anytown.

02:56

The project name will be mixed used community garage.

03:00

It seems like it doesn't fit.

03:02

That's OK, let's click on Edit family on our total block.

03:10

Never cared for the size of text in this title block.

03:13

Select where it says client name.

03:16

We know that's a label.

03:17

Let's put it on label 3/16.

03:21

That's correct, project name.

03:24

And sheet name by holding down the Control key,

03:28

let's do the same thing, label 3/16.

03:33

Hit escape a couple of times.

03:37

Let's click Load into project.

03:42

Let's overwrite the existing version.

03:46

Try to smile now, but you get the point.

03:51

Let's keep going down.

03:53

So Anytown mixed used unnamed, what is that?

03:56

Well, that's the sheet name.

03:59

So all caps, we'll call it a second floor plan and sections.

04:08

We know we have plenty of room for this text.

04:11

For the project number, let's make it 1234567.

04:18

Issue date will be

04:31

I'll check my own stuff too.

04:36

For S1, I like it to be S102.

04:41

We started with our second floor,

04:43

so let's leave room for sheet one.

04:45

And the scale is as indicated on the sheet.

04:49

So I'm gonna click off of this.

04:52

It looks pretty awesome.

04:55

What I'd like to do now, though, is

04:57

I want to make another sheet.

04:58

Notice that if we drill into sheets all, we have S102.

05:02

If we drill into S102, check it out,

05:05

here's all the views that are in that sheet.

05:08

Right click on sheets all, and let's go to new sheet.

05:15

We use that same border, click OK.

05:19

But notice that a lot of the information

05:21

is getting filled out for us, that's because we

05:24

have project information.

05:26

And we have sheet information.

05:28

So instead of unnamed for here, we'll

05:30

just call it third floor plan and sections.

05:39

Click off of it.

05:41

I'm getting lazy.

05:42

We'll just keep that where it is.

05:45

We don't know who drew it yet.

05:47

Now notice that we can grab level 3.

05:50

We can drag that down to our sheet.

05:53

We can go down the sections, of course, we got sloppy there.

05:56

So instead of section one, we'll call it third floor section.

06:01

Drag that onto our sheet.

06:07

Now we have two sheets.

06:10

Now, what we can do is if we want

06:12

to start working on this view, we

06:15

can just simply hover over this viewport, double click on it,

06:20

and notice that we can actually make modifications

06:23

to the view within the sheet.

06:26

We used to do that in AutoCAD, which is a little harder

06:28

I thought.

06:32

We can change anything we want.

06:33

It doesn't slow you down.

06:35

It's just like working in the regular model.

06:37

But just remember, to get out of the view, double-click outside

06:41

of it.

06:42

And you're back outside of the view.

06:45

Now, if I wanted to move this, just go ahead and select it.

06:49

Hover over it, and just move it to wherever you want it.

06:54

Now with the viewport selected, notice

06:56

that we can make modifications to our view title.

06:59

The problem is though look, we can't

07:01

move the view title independent of the actual viewport.

07:06

Hit Escape a couple of times.

07:08

To move the view title, we're just

07:10

going to select the view title.

07:13

Notice no grip is light up, but we can now move this.

07:17

Suck the viewport, grab your grip, and drag it in.

07:23

Hit Escape a couple of times.

07:27

There you go, don't you feel better

07:29

having this information on a sheet?
