Use the Work Plane dialog to show or change the work plane of a view, or to show, set, change, or dissociate the work plane of a work plane-based element.
- Name—Choose an available work plane from the list, and click OK.
The list includes levels, grids, and named reference planes.
- Pick a plane—Revit creates a plane coincident to the selected plane. Select this option and click OK. Then move the cursor over the drawing area to highlight available work planes, and click to select the desired plane.
You can select any plane that can be dimensioned, including wall faces, faces in linked models, extrusion faces, levels, grids, and reference planes.
- Pick a line and use the work plane it was sketched in—Revit creates a work plane that is coplanar with the work plane of the selected line. Select this option and click OK. Then move the cursor over the drawing area to highlight available lines, and click to select one.
- Pick a new host—This option displays only when you have selected a work plane-based element in the drawing area. Select this option and click OK. On the Modify | <element> tab > Placement panel, select the desired option: Vertical Face, Face, or Work Plane. Then move the cursor over the drawing area to highlight available hosts for the element, and click to select the desired host.
