In this video, Shaun Bryant explains how to create a new drafting detail view in your Revit project.
- [Instructor] We're starting a new chapter…in the course now, and we're gonna be looking…at creating standard details in Revit.…It may be that you've got a Revit project,…but all of your standard details are in AutoCAD drawings,…DWGs, and what you want to do is you want…to bring those DWGs into your Revit project.…You could of course just import them as CAD files,…or link them as CAD files, and do it that way,…if you want to, there's nothing to stop you doing that.…However, the other way that you could do it,…is create a detail drafting view in Revit,…then import the CAD drawing, explode it,…and convert all of the standard detail, into Revit lines,…leader lines, and text and annotation, and so on.…
That's what we're going to do in this particular chapter.…We've got a Revit project for you to use,…funnily enough, it's got the same name…as the one in the previous chapter,…it's OFFICE_Reception Area.rvt.…You can see the name of it at the top of the screen, there.…As usual, you can download it from the library,…
