- About Sheets
In Revit, you create a sheet view for each sheet in the construction document set. You can then place multiple drawings or schedules on each sheet view. - About Sheets in Project Templates
Create views on a project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process. - About Digital Cartoon Sets
Some architects use a cartoon set to plan the document requirements for a project. A cartoon set is a rough plan for the sheets that you want to include in the construction document set, and the drawings, schedules, or other information to show on each sheet. - About Hiding Parts of a View on a Sheet
When placing a view on a sheet, you can hide parts of the view to focus on one area. - About Title Block Information for Sheets
A title block typically displays information about the project, as well as information about individual sheets. - About External Information on a Sheet
You can include information that is external to a project on the sheets that Revit generates. You can use external text, spreadsheets, and images on sheets. - Video: Create Sheet Views
Create a sheet and add and position views on the sheet. - Video: Use Guide Grids to Align Views
Use guide grids to align views in the same location from sheet to sheet. - Video: Rotate Views on a Sheet
Add a fascia to roof elements in the model. - Video: Sheet Layout Tools
Use sheet layout tools to help you reorganize views on your sheets after you have placed views. - Add a Sheet
Enhance a sheet set by adding another sheet. - Add Views to a Sheet
Create duplicates of a single view to add that view to more than one sheet. - Align Views on a Sheet
Guide grids help arrange views so that they appear in the same location from sheet to sheet. - Align View Titles on a Sheet
Even when the size of a viewport changes, aligned view titles will stay aligned. - Lock the Position of a View on a Sheet
After placing a view (or schedule) on a sheet and positioning it as desired, you can lock it in place so that it cannot be moved inadvertently. - Swap View on Sheet
You can swap the current view with a compatible view directly from the view list. - Video: Swap Views on a Sheet
Swap a view placed on a sheet for another un-placed view in your model. - Moving a View
Placed views can be moved to another sheet using drag and drop, or by using the Move View Aligned to Sheet command. - Move View Aligned to Sheet
Move selected views placed on sheets to another sheet in the model. - Duplicate a Sheet
Add a duplicate of the selected sheet to the project. - Rename a Sheet
If project needs change, renaming a sheet may be appropriate. - Sheet Collections
Sheet Collections allows you to assign any sheet in the model into flexible groupings that can be referenced across Revit, such as in views, schedules and filters. - Enter Project-Specific Information for Title Blocks
Project-specific information is data that remains the same on all sheets of a project. - Enter Sheet-Specific Information in a Title Block
Sheet-specific information is data relating to an individual sheet in a project, such as the sheet name and number, designer, and reviewer. - Modify a View on a Sheet
Add dimensions and text notes, pan the viewport, or change the scale of a view to accommodate project needs. - Video: Modifying Views in a Sheet
- Divide a View Across Multiple Sheets
When a view is too large to fit on a single sheet, you can create multiple sheets for the view, divide the view into parts, and show one part on each sheet. - Rotate a View on a Sheet
You can rotate a view (or a schedule) on a sheet 90 degrees in either direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). - Create a Title Sheet
A construction documentation set usually includes a title sheet, also called a cover sheet. - Add a Legend to a Sheet
Like a map legend, a legend on a sheet helps the building professional interpret the drawings correctly. - Add a Note Block to a Sheet
A note block (also called an annotation schedule) is a list of construction notes for a drawing. You can create a note block and place it on a sheet to document the building model. - Sheet Instance Properties
Modify the properties of multiple sheets in one operation.
