Join Eric Wing for an in-depth discussion in this video Plotting, part of Revit 2018: Essential Training for Structure.
- [Voiceover] It's time to print.…This actually a lot easier than it was in AutoCAD…especially when it comes to what AutoCAD used to call…was the batch plotting.…Revit just does that naturally…so let's talk about Revit plotting.…I can either hit Control + P on my keyboard…or go to my Revit drop-down,…go to Prints and then come up to Print.…Now I only have Adobe PDF available but that's fine.…If we're plotting to PDF, note that you can combine…multiple selected view sheets into a single file…right within Revit, pretty cool.…
Of course you can browse to where it's gonna go,…but let's pretend we're printing to an actual plotter.…Now print range can do a couple things.…Current window basically means from AutoCAD…if you're plotting from model space,…you're gonna plot what's showing up.…Now visible portion of current window,…if you zoom in on something, it's only gonna plot that.…It's kinda like plotting a window that you specify.…Selected view sheets now, this is my favorite,…go ahead an click on Selected views, Sheets…

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.
