Place Me

The Place Me feature allows you to jump from a 2D sheet to the corresponding model location in a Revit file (version 2017 or later). The location in the model corresponds to the phase view.

1. Open a Revit file, version 2017 or later.

2. In the file viewer, click to open Sheets & Views.

3. Click the 2D tab.

4. Click the relevant sheet.

5. Click the Place Me icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

6. Select a location on the 2D sheet.

7. Use your cursor to orient the viewing angle and click again to lock the view.

8. Review the first person navigation controls and click in the white space to move to the project model.

   Tip: The navigation controls are presented each time you use the first person navigation. If you become familiar with the navigation controls, you may dismiss this message in the future.

Now you are placed into the 3D model in first person mode at the location and viewing angle selected from the 2D sheet. From here, you can walk around the model or quickly jump back to the previous view to return to the corresponding 2D sheet. While in first person mode, you cannot select objects. Exit first person mode to make a selection.
