Create Reference Plane Subcategories

Assign a subcategory to a reference plane to control visibility and graphics settings.

Adding a Subcategory to a Reference Plane

Use the subcategories to create different line colors and line styles for reference planes so that it is easy to distinguish how a reference plane is used in Revit families and in complex views and models.

To create a reference plane subcategory

1. Select a reference plane.
2. On the Modify | Reference Planes tabSubcategory panel, from the Subcategory list, select <Create New Subcategory>.
3. In the New Subcategory dialog, enter a name.
4. Click OK.

As an alternative, you can create a subcategory from the Properties palette when a reference plane is selected. Under Identity Data, for Subcategory, click the drop-list and click <Create New Subcategory>.
