Document and Present the Project
Create, annotate and refine project documentation to communicate the design intent to team members, consultants, clients and
contractors.

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 analyse the components and materials used in a project.
Visibility and Graphic Display in Project View: 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.
Detailing: 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 revision.
Color Scheme: Color schemes are useful for graphically illustrating categories of space. Create color scheme by room name, area,
occupancy, or department.
Rendering: Use Revit to create a photorealistic image of the model.
Walkthrough: 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.
