Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Working in one model with many views, part of Revit 2018: Essential Training for Architecture (Metric).
- [Instructor] So what's so special about Revit anyhow?…Well there are many possible answers to that question,…but in this movie I'd like to focus on…one of the easiest and most immediate…benefits of using Revit.…Whether you're an architect, interior designer,…draftsman, or contractor, you spend a lot of time…looking at and working in floor plans,…sections, and elevations.…In Revit, work that you do in plan…is immediately reflected in the elevations and sections,…and vice versa.…In this movie I'll show you how easy Revit…makes it for us to keep our changes…coordinated with a firsthand look…at what I think is one of the fundamental benefits…of building information modeling,…the fully coordinated building model.…
So to illustrate this, I have several windows…tiled on my screen.…I've got a floor plan, an elevation,…a 3D view, and even a schedule.…Now what I'm going to do is click over here…into my floor plan to make that the active view,…and then I'll use this little magnifying glass…over here to zoom in on the right-hand side…
