Views are images produced from a Revit model with privileged access to the data stored in the documents. They can be graphics, such as plans, or text, such as schedules. Each project document has one or more different views. The last focused window is the active view.
The Autodesk.Revit.DB.View class is the base class for all view types in the Revit document. The Autodesk.Revit.UI.UIView class represents the window view in the Revit user interface.
In the following sections, you learn how views are generated, the types of views supported by Revit, the features for each view, as well as the functionality available for view windows in the user interface.
