- [Voiceover] What I'd like to do now is create some lateral brace frames. Up to this point, we've done pretty much everything in 2D, especially in a 2D plan. What I want to do is put in a 3D element. However, we're going to remain in 2D. The trick here is we need to create an elevation and we need to set the reference plane onto a grid line. To do that, I'm going to go down to Level 2 in the Project Browser. What I'm going to do now, is I'm going to go to my View tab, and on the create panel I have an Elevation button.
I'm going to come to the side of it here, and I'm going to hit the dropdown, and I'm going to create a Framing Elevation. Go ahead and click on Framing Elevation. Now notice I can't put anything in until I find a grid line. So on this grid line, I'm going to come up here, and I'm going to pick a point about in the middle, outside looking in. Once I pick that, I have Elevation 1-a squarely placed in my plan. Perfect. I'm going to open this elevation up by double-clicking on Elevation 1-a.
In Elevation 1-a, I'm going to set my detail level to fine. Now in my Project Browser, I'm going to scroll down until I find Elevations (Framing Elevations). I'm going to drill into here. I'm going to right-click on Elevation 1-a, and I'm going to rename it. Now I'm going to call it BRACE BAY-A, all caps. B-R-A-C-E BAY-A.
Now I'm going to click OK. Now, notice that we have what's called a crop region around it. I like where it is on the sides, but the top here, I want to select it. I want to click on this little grip, and I want to drag it down. Now I'm going to hit escape a couple times. Now what I want to look at, if we go to the Structure tab, and on our work plane panel I'm going to click my Set Work Plane. So in elevation, we need to set our work plane, but look, it's already set to grid line F.
So that means anything we draw here, or model here, is going to be centered on grid line F. It's pretty cool. I'm going to hit Cancel here, I'm going to hit ctrl + tab and go back to my floor plan. I'm going to put a brace frame here as well. So I'm going to go to my View tab. I'm going to go to my Elevation dropdown, and I'm going to go to Framing Elevation. I'm going to come over here, and I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to pick right here. I'm going to hit escape a couple times.
I'm going to double-click on this little bubble, I'm going to set my detail level to fine, I'm going to grab my crop region and I'm going to drag it down. I'm going to right-click on Elevation 1-a in my Project Browser, and I'm going to rename it. I'm going to call it BRACE BAY-D, all caps. Now I'm going to click OK.
Hit escape a couple times. Now that's how you create a framing elevation.

4/13/2017Starting with referencing an architectural model, you'll learn how to add foundations, rebar, and framing; set up views and drawings; model slabs and trusses; and build a whole lot more. This course is designed for members with no Revit experience, or for more advanced users who want to jump to a topic and start from there. Either way, this comprehensive course will teach you what you need to know to be dangerous in Revit structure.
