Using placeholder sheets is a good way to keep track of consultant sheets
that are not part of your project file. For example, if you are working with
a civil engineering consultant who is not creating a Revit file, you can
represent their drawings with placeholder sheets in your project to keep an
accurate sheet count and sheet list.
Being able to create your project documents directly in the file that contains
your model is one of the benefits of using Revit MEP 2015. Now that you
have learned some of the skills required to create sheets, practice by
completing the following exercise:
1. Open the Ch23_Project.rvt file found at www.sybex.com/go/
masteringrevitmep2015 .
2. Right-click Sheets in the Project Browser. Select the New Sheet option.
3. Choose the D 22 × 34 Horizontal titleblock in the New Sheet dialog box
and click OK.
4. Select the titleblock in the drawing area, and in the Properties palette,
change Sheet Name to FIRST FLOOR PLAN - HVAC . Change Sheet
Number to M-101 . Click the Apply button in the Properties palette.
Notice that the titleblock information is updated.
5. Right-click Sheets in the Project Browser, and select the New Sheet
option. Choose the D 22 × 34 Horizontal titleblock and click OK.
6. Repeat step 4, naming the sheet SECOND FLOOR PLAN - HVAC .
Notice that the sheet name you entered in step 4 is available in the
drop-down of the parameter. Each time you type in a name, it is stored
in this list. You can pick a name from the list and modify it as needed
for a new sheet. This helps keep names consistent and avoids typing
errors. You do not have to edit the Sheet Number option because it was
created automatically in sequence with the previous sheet.
7. Open the M-101 sheet again. Click the Guide Grid button on the Sheet
Composition panel of the View tab. Name the guide grid Floor Plans
and click OK.
8. Select the guide grid by clicking one of its outer edges. In the Properties
palette, change the Guide Spacing parameter value to 4 .
9. In the Project Browser, drag the 1 - Mech floor plan view to the drawing
area. Click to place the view anywhere on the sheet.
