Join Brian Myers for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a door legend, part of Designing Home Plans with Revit.
A Legend View is very similar to a Drafting View.…When you create a Legend View, it opens up a blank view…that you can do drafting in it.…And you can use your Annotation Tools,…such as your Detail Lines, Regions, and Text…to draw inside of those views.…But a Legend View also allows you to take…three dimensional things, load it into your Revit model…and see them from different angles.…An example of that would be a Door Legend,…so let's go through the process…of creating a Door Legend View.…
Because it's a View, we need to go to the View tab…on the ribbon, and then select on Legends.…Pick a Legend, and for the name of the Legend,…we'll just call it "Door Legend".…The scale can be 1/4" = 1'0", that's okay.…We can either make it smaller or larger later on.…I'll click on OK to that, and now just like a Drafting View,…when a Drafting View is created,…this View is a big, blank white sheet of paper…that we can start to draw on. But instead…of just drawing inside of this View what I'd like to do…is take some of the three dimensional information…
