Parts

Divide building model elements into discrete parts that can be independently scheduled, tagged, filtered, and exported.

  • Modify tab Create panel (Create Parts)
Topics in this section
  • Video: Create and Divide Parts
    Create Parts in your Revit model to divide certain elements into individual sections that can be scheduled, 
tagged, filtered, or exported.
  • About Parts
    Part elements in Revit support the construction modeling process by letting you divide certain elements from the design intent model into discrete parts.
  • Create Parts
    You can create a part from an element that you select in the drawing area, either in the current project or in a linked model.
  • Work with Merged Parts
    You can make a single part out of 2 or more parts that have overlapping geometry and are of the same material. The merged part can be edited to add or remove parts.
  • Exclude Parts
    You can exclude parts from the project so that they will not be included in material takeoffs, schedules, and other lists or calculations.
  • Divide Parts
    After an element has been designated as a part, that part can be divided into smaller parts, either by sketching division lines or by selecting reference elements that intersect the part.
  • Create a Division Profile Family
    Create a division profile family that you can apply to part edges when dividing a part or editing an existing part division.
  • Edit a Part Division
    Edit the sketched geometry or reference elements (levels, grids, or reference planes) that define the division of a part or parts into smaller parts.
  • Edit Part Geometry
    You can edit the geometry of a selected part by dragging the shape handles on planar faces.
  • Delete a Part
    When you delete a part, all parts that have been created from that part are also deleted. This preserves and exposes the existing element.
  • Control Part Visibility and Appearance
    Specify whether parts and the elements they were created from will display in a particular view.
  • Part Instance Properties
    When creating or editing a part, change properties to specify its base level, materials, phasing, and more.
  • Division Instance Properties
    When defining the division of a part into smaller parts, change properties to specify the divider gap, the split profile type, and more.
