In-Depth Information
When you click the Next button, you can browse to a location for the DWF
file. There is an option in the browse window to combine all the views and/
or sheets to be exported into a single DWF file.
If you are sharing your sheets or views with someone who is unable to open
a DWF file, you can export to DWFx format, which can be viewed by using
the free XPS Viewer, available for download from Microsoft. The viewer is
not able to view files containing 3D graphics, so it should be used only for
2D files.
The Bottom Line
Create a titleblock
A titleblock can be the signature for your projects.
Its design and layout can be an immediate indicator of who has created
the construction documents. A titleblock is also important for conveying
general project and specific sheet information.
Master It
To ensure that your Revit projects look the same as, or
similar to, your other projects, it is necessary to have a titleblock
family that looks the same as other file format titleblocks you use.
Describe the process for creating a Revit titleblock family from an
existing CAD format titleblock.
Establish sheets in your project
The sheets that make up your
construction documents can be organized in your Revit projects for easy
access and for management of project information.
Master It
A Sheet List schedule is a useful tool for managing the
information shown on your construction documents as well as for
organizing the order of sheets for your project. Is it possible to create
parameters for sheets that can be used in the sheet list? Explain.
Place views on sheets
For a Revit project, the construction
documents are created as a result of the model, whereas in traditional
CAD environments, the sheets are the main focus. You can put your
construction documents together by placing the views you have created
onto your sheets.
Master It
Uniformity among sheets in a document set is important
not only to the look of a project but also for ease in document
navigation. Explain how guide grids can be used to place model
views in the same location on individual sheets.
