u ◆ Placing a view into a smaller sheet to issue the individual view can lead to other problems.
Because there is only one instance of the view, it requires you to take the view off your
Construction Document sheet to place the view in a new sheet. The problem is that the new
sheet/detail is meant to replace a portion of your original document set, so your set is now
out of sequence. You will need to remove the view from the sheet it was issued on temporarily
(and remember to put it back) or duplicate the view and hope that you do not need to make
last-minute additional changes.
u ◆ a supplemental drawing, once issued, is like a snapshot in time. it becomes a numbered change
made to the drawing set at a given date. Because the model and all the views in the model always
reflect the most current state of the project, making separate sD sheets and views within revit
will show any additional changes made to that view.
as a best practice, some architects leave all the revisions directly on the sheets where they were
originally issued. The sheets can be printed to PDFs, and the PDFs (with the revision clouds) are
imported into adobe illustrator or a similar application (where they can be properly scaled and
cropped to the view or detail being revised and then placed on a template to be issued for the
revision). This process not only creates a historic record of the revision; it also allows you to avoid
issuing the full sheet while keeping your model up to date.

Using Digital Markups
®
Autodesk Design Review offers an efficient way to view and mark up 2D digital documents
and 3D models. This workflow is different from revisions and is geared more toward informal
design review rather than the management of sheet issues. For example, if your drawings
must be reviewed for quality control and overall comments by a senior designer who might
not be familiar with Revit software, this tool can streamline the process. The senior designer,
consultant, or any other third party can make comments and review changes directly in the
digital file and return them to the Revit Architecture user who needs to modify the original
model.
Using Design Review, you can view files in DWFx or DWF format. If you export sheets to
DWFx and the markups are linked back into Revit, the markups will be automatically placed on
the corresponding sheet. So there is no need on your part for any sort of alignment or placement
of the revisions.
Design Review is a free tool that you can download from the Autodesk website: www.
autodesk.com/designreview. Once it’s installed, you can open and mark up any DWFx or
DWF file produced by any Autodesk or other CAD/BIM software package.

Publishing to Design Review
There are two ways to share your model using Design Review: as 2D drawings or a 3D model. If
you publish to 3D, you create a single 3D representation of your model that can be orbited, object
managed, and also queried for the properties of any of the elements. Publishing to 2D can create
either a single view or a whole collection of interconnected views and sheets packaged as one
file. You can even combine 2D views and a 3D model in one DWFx file.
