Best Practices: Create Views

A view in Model Coordination is a collection of models and Revit 3D views, that have been combined into and saved as a group. Views allow you to curate content and provide flexibility when you collaborate as a project team. Each view in Model Coordination is essentially an aggregated model and can contain a maximum of 1000 models.

Anyone can create a view and Project Admins can see all views, not just public views.

Views are a primary method to access and review curated sets of data so you can be more productive. Views are useful as they facilitate model review, clash detection, and issue resolution to be carried out using a smaller subset of data from a coordination space, such as a specific floor of a building. In addition to combining models to create views of aggregated models, use model property filters to select only specific model elements, letting you focus on an even more specific area, further increasing the efficiency of your review processes.

Views can be created in Revit for a smaller subset of models. When Revit views are published to Autodesk Docs they are automatically visible as aggregated models in Model Coordination. You can further refine these views of aggregated models by creating views in Model Coordination and saving to Autodesk Docs to provide a snapshot for mobile viewing or downstream workflows.

Views can also be used to filter the clash matrix.
