About Parts
Part elements in Revit support the construction modeling process by letting you divide certain elements from the design intent model into discrete parts.
Video: Create and Divide Parts
Create and divide elements into discrete parts so that they can be scheduled, tagged, filtered, and exported.
Create Parts
You can create a part from an element that you select in the drawing area, either in the current project or in a linked model.
Work with Merged Parts
You can make a single part out of 2 or more parts that have overlapping geometry and are of the same material. The merged part can be edited to add or remove parts.
Exclude Parts
You can exclude parts from the project so that they will not be included in material takeoffs, schedules, and other lists or calculations.
Divide Parts
After an element has been designated as a part, that part can be divided into smaller parts, either by sketching division lines or by selecting reference elements that intersect the part.
Create a Division Profile Family
Create a division profile family that you can apply to part edges when dividing a part or editing an existing part division.
Edit a Part Division
Edit the sketched geometry or reference elements (levels, grids, or reference planes) that define the division of a part or parts into smaller parts.
Edit Part Geometry
You can edit the geometry of a selected part by dragging the shape handles on planar faces.
Delete a Part
When you delete a part, all parts that have been created from that part are also deleted. This preserves and exposes the existing element.
Control Part Visibility and Appearance
Specify whether parts and the elements they were created from will display in a particular view.
Part Instance Properties
When creating or editing a part, change properties to specify its base level, materials, phasing, and more.
Division Instance Properties
When defining the division of a part into smaller parts, change properties to specify the divider gap, the split profile type, and more.
