Chapter 3 ■ Views
- Working With Views (partial)
(Continued)
"Types of Views
Elevations
Sections
"Elevations
...created by placing elevation tags into your model. ...when you insert an elevation tag, it dynamically positions itself perpendicular to any wall. ...even in ...nonorthogonal floor plans. ...you can duplicate any elevation by right-clicking the view name in the Project Browser and choosing Duplicate View then Duplicate. This will make a new nondependent elevation view."
"Each elevation symbol is capable of creating four elevation views at once, each facing a different direction. ...If you place an elevation symbol in the middle of a room, by inserting...then highlighting the center of it, you see check boxes that can be used to activate the other elevations. Check or uncheck one of the boxes to turn the elevation on or off..."
"Selecting an activated elevation arrow gives you additional options and displays the
width and depth of the elevation."
"double-click any of the elevation arrows to navigate directly to the corresponding
elevation view, or you can open the elevation views from the Project Browser."
NOTE: Be sure to double click on the graphic line of the arrow, if you click on the middle of it near the number, nothing happens.
"Sections
...properties of section tags are similar to...elevation tags, except the cut plane of the section graphic cannot be moved independently from the section graphic (as with elevation symbols). The view width and depth are defined by the dashed lines when a section is selected, as in the elevation. Use the opposing arrow drag controls to adjust the crop boundary of the section"
"a jointed section cut ...the Section tool has the capability of splitting so that it allows for staggered section lines. ...first draw a section line where you need to establish a view. Next, select the section, and choose Split Segment from the Section panel of the Modify Views tab. This enables the Split tool and allows you to split the section line at any point.
...now each segment of the section cut can be adjusted for location and depth. ...A section line can be cut multiple times..."
NOTE
"For best performance, be sure to limit the depth of your section and elevation cuts only to what you really want to see. ...Revit will calculate all of the information whether or not you see it, so make your section depth as shallow as possible in order to gain in performance and not force Revit to calculate what you do not need to see." This will be one of my twitter RevitNewbie tips!
