Topics in this section
  • About Organizing Views
    When working with views of a model or a family, organize the views as needed to support your current work.
  • About Multi-Monitor Support
    You can drag a view out of the Revit application window into its own window. Move the window to another monitor as needed to support your workflow.

    Use one of several methods to open or display a view.
  • Tab Views
    In the drawing area, each view (or schedule or sheet) has its own tab. You can tile views so you can see multiple views at once. Use the Tab Views tool to combine tiled views into a single window with a tab for each, or organize tabbed views in multiple windows (tiles).
  • Tile Views
    Display views in separate windows in the drawing area to support your workflow. Drag views from one tile to another to organize them as desired.

    When navigating views in a model or family, you can use the mouse, keyboard shortcuts, and various tools, such as the navigation bar, the ViewCube® and Autodesk® SteeringWheels®.
  • Rename a View
    Edit view names to better reflect their content or to simplify project management.
  • About Renaming Corresponding Levels and Views
    When you rename a level or a view, a dialog may ask if you want to rename the corresponding level and/or plan views.

  • Reuse Views and Sheets in Other Projects
    If another project contains a view or sheet that you want to reuse in the current project, use the Insert Views from File tool.
  • Place a View Reference
    A view reference displays the detail number and sheet number (if the view is included on a sheet) for the corresponding view.
