This video demonstrates how the changes you make to elements in one view of a project model are instantly visible in all other views.
00:14
These instant updates are possible because the model contains both the elements themselves
00:19
and the logic that manages the relationships between the elements.
00:24
To see this behavior in action, we will place a roof on the model.
00:28
First, select the Roof Plan view from the project browser.
00:32
By selecting this view, you make the roof level the active work plane,
00:36
which ensures that the roof you place will be constrained to the roof level in the project.
00:41
Next, set the overhang and use the walls to sketch the boundary of the roof.
00:47
After you have established the boundary, you can set the roof slope and finish the roof element.
00:53
Select the walls and attach the tops of the walls to the roof.
00:58
The walls are now constrained to the roof.
01:01
When you change the roof geometry or position, the walls will respond to the change.
01:07
Similarly, because the walls were used to layout the roof sketch, the sketch lines of the roof are constrained to the walls.
01:15
When you change the position of a wall using the temporary dimensions, the roof will respond to the change.
01:22
The model views are always In Sync with each other.
01:26
When an element is changed in one view, the change is instantly visible in the other views of the model.
01:32
This ensures that your model is always up to date for viewing and generating printed documents.

A model is a virtual version of the building design. It describes the geometry of the model elements and captures the design intent and logical relationships between elements. When you’re ready to begin a new design, create a Revit model. The changes you make to elements in one view of a model are instantly visible in all other views.
