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

Create schedules and legends.
Schedules are another view type; they allow you to show
