Revit MEP 2023 – Placing Views on Sheets

By John Flanagan

There are several ways to place views on sheets. An easy option is just to simply drag a desired view from the project browser directly onto the current sheet. The annotation scale of that view will then set the size of the view on a sheet. If the view is a schedule, then the table size is dictated by the size of the text in the title, heading and data as well as the number of items recorded in the schedule.

Alternatively select, place view on sheet from the Views command located on the View Tab of the ribbon interface.

Once placed, Revit will label the view with the same reference name in the project browser as well as the scale.

Whilst this may be suitable in many instances, it is sometimes required that a more descriptive title is placed on the sheet, but a simpler equivalent is retained in the project browser. This can easily be achieved by editing the Name on sheet override field on the Revit Property palette.

Place as many views as will fit upon a sheet. The title sheet family will take note of plotting scales of the respective views as they are added. Should views have different scales, then the scale reference will state ‘As Indicated’. In which case readers will refer to the individual view titles.

As multiple views are placed Revit will endeavour to track notes and views to keep all views and labels aligned.
