List problems in creating the Construction Document Set./n Commercial Design Using Autodesk Revit 2021 Lesson 14 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS SET: This lesson will look at bringing everything you have drawn thus far together onto sheets. The sheets, once set up, are ready for plotting. Basically, you place the various views you have created on sheets. The scale for each view is based on the scale you set while drawing that view, which is important to have set correctly because it affects the text and symbol sizes. When finished setting up the sheets, you will have a set of drawings ready to print, individually or all at once. See the view on sheets for additional information. Exercise 14-1: Setting Up a Sheet Creating a Sheet View 1. Open ex13-5.rvt and Save As 14-1.rvt. 2. Select View → Sheet Composition → New Sheet. New Sheet Select titleblocks: E1 30 x 42 Horizontal: E1 30x42 Horizontal None Select placeholder sheets: New Sheet Title Revisions Guide Matchline Block Grid Sheet Composition Load... Next Revit will prompt you for a Titleblock to use. The template file you started with only has one; that's the one you will use (Figure 14- 1.1). 3. Click OK to select the E1 30x42 Horizontal titleblock. OK Cancel FIGURE 14-1.1 Select a Titleblock NOTE: A new item shows up in the Project Browser under the heading Sheets. Once you get an entire drawing set ready, this list can be very long. 14-1 Commercial Design Using Autodesk Revit 2021 FIGURE 14-1.2 Initial Titleblock view 4. Zoom into the sheet number area (lower right corner). 5. Adjust the text to look similar to Figure 14-1.3. Autodesk Revit Owner Project Name Unnamed A101 ABC Developers Harbor View Offices Level 1 Floor Plan TIP: Select the title block, hover the cursor over the text you wish to edit, and then click. NOTICE: The time and date stamp. This helps to remember when a sheet was plotted, especially if you forget to update the date before printing.

With the sheet fully visible, click and drag the Level 1 label (under floor plans) from the Project Browser onto the sheet view. You will see a box that represents the extents of the view you are placing on the current sheet. 8. Move the cursor around until the box is somewhat centered on the sheet (this can be adjusted later at any time). Your view should look similar to Figure 14-1.4. Viewport 园 <!

Click the mouse in a "white" area (not on any lines) to deselect the Level 1 view. Notice the box goes away (unless the Crop Region is set to display in the view being placed). 10. Zoom In on the lower left corner to view the drawing identification symbol that Revit automatically added (Figure 14-1.5). 14-3 Commercial Design Using Autodesk Revit 2021 1 Level 1 1/8" = 1'-0" FIGURE 14-1.5 Drawing title NOTE: The drawing number for this sheet is added automatically. The next view you add will be number 2. The view name is listed. This is another reason to rename the elevation and section views as you create them. Also notice that the drawing scale is listed. Again, this comes from the scale setting for the Level 1 view. 11. Zoom Out to see the entire sheet again. 12. Add two more sheets and set up Levels 2 and 3 on them: a. Sheet A102 → Level 2 Floor Plan b. Sheet A103 → Level 3 Floor Plan NOTE: When you create a new sheet, most of the titleblock is filled in and the number has increased by 1. This information can be changed if needed. TIP: Back in the view, if you select the Crop Region, you can select Edit Crop to adjust the perimeter to be L-shaped if needed. This also works with the Callout tool on the View tab. Setting Up Exterior Elevations: Next you will set up the exterior elevations on the A200 series sheets. 13. Create a new Sheet and adjust the title block data: a. Sheet Title: Exterior Elevations b. Sheet Number: A200 14. Drag the South elevation view onto the sheet. Place the drawing near the lower right. 15. Drag the North elevation view onto the same sheet. Place the drawing so that the drawing title tag is aligned. (Revit will snap to this position vertically.) TIP: When placing a view on a sheet, Revit will display a dashed reference line when the model portion of the view aligns with an adjacent model view. This allows you to ensure views align with each other on a sheet. Your drawing should look similar to Figure 14-1.6. These same steps can be applied to the floor plan views to hide the trees if desired. 14-4 о CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS SET 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 000 00 0000000 ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ 000000 Do T Ө Autodesk Revit ABC Developers 0 0 0 0 0 0 O O O O O O 0 0 0 0 00 000 Harbor View Offices Exterior Elevations 0 0 0 0 0 0 ☐ ☐ ☐ FIGURE 14-1.6 North and South exterior elevations A200 Next you will turn off the trees in the south view. Normally you would turn them off in all views. However, you will only turn them off in the south view to show that you can control visibility per view on a sheet. 16. Click anywhere on the South elevation view to select it. 17. Now Right-Click and select Activate View from the pop-up menu (see image to right). TIP: you can also double-click within the view. At this point you are in the viewport and can make changes to the project model to control visibility, which is what you will do next. 18. Type VV on the keyboard (do not press Enter). 19. In the visibility dialog Uncheck Planting. 20. Close the open dialog box.
