00:03
With Point Layout for Revit, you can use the Wall Points and Floors/Slabs/Footings tools to mark some
00:09
or all the key wall and floor locations in your project.
00:13
This includes tops, bottoms, intersections, openings, and other key points.
00:21
To mark points on the walls of your open project drawing, from the ribbon, Autodesk Point Layout tab, APL panel, click Wall Points.
00:31
In the Add Points dialog, enter or select the point Start Number, prefix, role, and phase.
00:41
From the Point Description Options, select Type Name to automatically use the wall type in Revit for that description.
00:49
You can also use Custom descriptions, or the Default.
00:53
Then, choose whether you want to mark the top of walls, bottoms, or both.
00:59
This will mark any penetrations or openings in the wall as well.
01:04
Here, the Selection Options are configured to Select All by type, but you can also choose Select Some, and then pick walls manually.
01:12
In terms of horizontal marking on a wall, for concrete, you can mark Finish,
01:18
and for any interior partition walls, you can mark the finish track or the center of the track.
01:24
Here, leave Finish selected, and then click OK.
01:29
From the Select Wall Types dialog, choose Select All to select all walls in the project.
01:35
You also see a list of the descriptions to be used, but these can be changed as needed after the points are placed.
01:43
Click OK.
01:45
Zooming into the drawing, you can see that wall points are now added in all of the key locations.
01:51
From the Quick Access Toolbar, open the Default 3D View to review the points at intersections, tops, bottoms, and openings.
02:02
The tool also marks where some walls are joined, as well as openings and corners,
02:06
but you can delete any unnecessary points.
02:10
Select any point to review its Properties.
02:13
Here, you can see that it is a Wall Point, and according to the PointRole, it needs to be staked out.
02:20
You also see the PointNumber and a description of Exterior - 8in Concrete.
02:25
Marking floors, slabs, and footings is a very similar process.
02:30
From the APL panel, click Floors/Slabs/Footings.
02:35
In the Add Points dialog, adjust the settings—here, the Start Number is adjusted, and the option to mark only the Top is selected.
02:44
Then, the points are added for all floor types.
02:48
In the 3D view, review the newly created points on the footings and slabs in the foundations of this project.
02:55
Now you can mark wall points and floors in your Revit project using the tools available on the Autodesk Point Layout tab.
