- Creating Views

"Creating Views
...best understood as live snapshots of the same 3D model taken from various vantage points.
...view types: plans, sections, elevations, schedule tables, lists, 3D views, and sheets.
...easily recognized and organized in the Project Browser.
...Right-clicking any view in the Project Browser lets you access the properties of that view.
...tools for view creation can be found under the View tab in the Ribbon."

"Navigating Between Views
...Double-clicking on the name of any view in the Project Browser opens that view in the drawing area and makes it active.
...An active view can be closed later using the Close button in the upper-right corner of the view. .this will not delete the view — it will just close it in the drawing area.
To delete a view, use the right-click menu when the mouse is over the view name in the Project Browser, or delete the view symbol (such as the section mark or elevation tag) in another view where the mark is available."

"...you can use view reference graphics, including section marks, elevation tags, and levels, as hyperlinks to navigate between views.
...double-click the arrow (in the case of elevations)or the flag (for sections and callouts) to open the view."
...hyperlinking of section and elevation tags via double-clicking works only when they are not selected or highlighted. If they’re selected (highlighted blue in Revit), no matter how many times you double-click, it won’t lead you to another view."
