    1. Select a tool that allows for a rectangle.

      For example:

        Revit Architecture - Revit Structure
      • Click Home tabModel panel (Model Line).
      • Revit MEP
      • Click Architect tabModel panel (Model Line).
    2. Click Modify | Place Lines tab (or respective Modify | Place <Element> tab or Modify | Create <Element> tab)Draw panel (Rectangle).
    3. On the Options Bar:
      1. Optionally, for Offset, specify a value.
      2. Optionally, select Radius and specify a value.

        Specifying a radius creates fillets at the corners of the rectangle.

        The following image shows a rectangle sketched without Radius selected and a rectangle sketched with Radius selected.

        NoteIf you specify a radius, the Offset option is overridden.
    4. Click in the drawing area to specify the first corner of the rectangle.
    5. Move the cursor and click to specify the diagonal corner of the rectangle.
