    • 2D Views

      Create plans, elevations, sections, and callouts.

    • 3D Views

      Create perspective and orthographic 3D views, and enhance them by adding a background, adjusting the camera position or extents, or changing view properties.

    • Legend Views

      Create legends to list the building components and annotations used in a project.

    • Schedules

      Create schedules, quantities, and material takeoffs to quantify and analyze the components and materials used in a project.

    • Visibility and Graphic Display in Project Views

      Control the visibility and graphic display of model elements, datum elements, and view-specific elements for each view in a project.

    • Use and Manage Views

      Learn how to navigate and rotate views, create dependent views, use crop regions, organize views in the Project Browser, create view lists, define view settings, and more.

    • Project Phasing

      Define project phases (such as demolition and renovation) and apply phase filters to views and schedules to show the project during various stages of work.

    • Annotating

      Enhance construction documents with dimensions, text notes, keynotes, tags, and symbols.

      Create detail views and drafting views. Add details, insulation, filled regions, and masking regions.

    • Reinforcement

      Show reinforcement in concrete columns, beams, walls, foundations, and structural floors.

    • Prepare Construction Documents

      Create sheets and add drawings and schedules to them. Customize title blocks, and manage revisions.

    • Rendering

      Use Revit to create a photorealistic image of the model.

    • Walkthroughs

      Define a path through a building model, and create an animation or a series of images to show the model to clients.

    • Print/Export

      Print, export, and publish Revit projects and files to share the design with clients, consultants, and other team members.
