The Bottom Line

Document plans. With floor plans you can create visual graphics that help to define how a
space is laid out. However, Revit provides other tools such as area plans to help you describe
space.
Master It List the four types of area plans that you can create and note the two that
Revit creates automatically.
Create schedules and legends. Schedules are another view type; they allow you to show
information about the model in a nongraphic format. Schedules can also be used to dynami-
cally report quantities of elements inside the model.
Master It Understand how to create schedules and report additional information about
the elements in the model. How would you create a simple casework schedule showing
quantities of types?
Lay out sheets. Eventually in a project it will become necessary to create sheets that will
become the documentation set. Knowing how to create a good sheet set provides you with
another venue to communicate with contractors, clients, and other team members.
Master It To properly create a sheet set, you need to understand the dynamics of adding
views to a sheet. In the Revit environment, there is only one way to add views to a sheet.
