About Path of Travel
The path of travel element allows you to analyze travel distances and times between 2 selected points in your model.
Place a Path of Travel
Add a Path of Travel line to a plan view of the model. The Path of Travel generates a line indicating the shortest path of travel between the 2 selected points.
Reveal Obstacles
Understand which elements in the view are analyzed as obstacles during route analysis.
Video: Place a Path of Travel
Add a Path of Travel line to a plan view of the model. The Path of Travel generates a line indicating the shortest path of travel between the 2 selected points.
Update a Path of Travel
You can update a path of travel line manually when model geometry has changed.
Add or Remove Waypoints from a Path of Travel
Use waypoints on a path of travel to adjust the route between the start and end points. Waypoints are added to an existing Path of Travel line.
Video: Path of Travel Waypoints
Use waypoints to adjust a Path of Travel line to meet your requirements or analyze a path through additional points.
Path of Travel Instance Properties
Modify instance properties to change the line style and mark value on a path of travel.
Route Analysis Settings
Route Analysis settings control how model elements effect the path of travel. Model elements between the starting and ending points of the path of travel will impact the route generated by the analysis.
Path of Travel Calculations
When you create a path of travel, Revit analyzes the current view and calculates an optimum (shortest) path. During calculations, Path of Travel avoids categories identified as obstacles (defined in settings) and accounts for the width of a typical person and body sway while walking.
