Topics in this section

About Sheets
In Revit, you create a sheet view for each sheet in the construction document set. You can then place multiple drawings or schedules on each sheet view.
About Sheets in Project Templates
Create views on a project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process.
About Digital Cartoon Sets
Some architects use a cartoon set to plan the document requirements for a project. A cartoon set is a rough plan for the sheets that you want to include in the construction document set, and the drawings, schedules, or other information to show on each sheet.
About Hiding Parts of a View on a Sheet
When placing a view on a sheet, you can hide parts of the view to focus on one area.
About Title Block Information for Sheets
A title block typically displays information about the project, as well as information about individual sheets.
About External Information on a Sheet
You can include information that is external to a project on the sheets that Revit generates. You can use external text, spreadsheets, and images on sheets.

Video: Use Guide Grids to Align Views

Video: Sheet Layout Tools

Add a Sheet
Enhance a sheet set by adding another sheet.
Add Views to a Sheet
Create duplicates of a single view to add that view to more than one sheet.
Align Views on a Sheet
Guide grids help arrange views so that they appear in the same location from sheet to sheet.
Align View Titles on a Sheet
Even when the size of a viewport changes, aligned view titles will stay aligned.
Lock the Position of a View on a Sheet
After placing a view (or schedule) on a sheet and positioning it as desired, you can lock it in place so that it cannot be moved inadvertently.
Swap View on Sheet
You can swap the current view with a compatible view directly from the view list.

Moving a View
Placed views can be moved to another sheet using drag and drop, or by using the Move View Aligned to Sheet command.
Move View Aligned to Sheet
Move selected views placed on sheets to another sheet in the model.
Duplicate a Sheet
Add a duplicate of the selected sheet to the project.
Rename a Sheet
If project needs change, renaming a sheet may be appropriate.
Enter Project-Specific Information for Title Blocks
Project-specific information is data that remains the same on all sheets of a project.
Enter Sheet-Specific Information in a Title Block
Sheet-specific information is data relating to an individual sheet in a project, such as the sheet name and number, designer, and reviewer.
Modify a View on a Sheet
Add dimensions and text notes, pan the viewport, or change the scale of a view to accommodate project needs.

Divide a View Across Multiple Sheets
When a view is too large to fit on a single sheet, you can create multiple sheets for the view, divide the view into parts, and show one part on each sheet.
Rotate a View on a Sheet
You can rotate a view (or a schedule) on a sheet 90 degrees in either direction (clockwise or counterclockwise).
Create a Title Sheet
A construction documentation set usually includes a title sheet, also called a cover sheet.
Add a Legend to a Sheet
Like a map legend, a legend on a sheet helps the building professional interpret the drawings correctly.
Add a Note Block to a Sheet
A note block (also called an annotation schedule) is a list of construction notes for a drawing. You can create a note block and place it on a sheet to document the building model.
Sheet Instance Properties
Modify the properties of multiple sheets in one operation.
