Parts of a sheet
When you add sheets to a Revit project, they are listed in the Project Browser under Sheets (all).
As you move a drawing or schedule onto a sheet, a viewport displays. A viewport is a representation of the
drawing or schedule when it is placed on a sheet.

Digital Cartoon Sets

Some architects use a cartoon set to plan the document requirements for a project. A cartoon set is a rough
plan for the sheets that you want to include in the construction document set, and the drawings, schedules,
or other information to show on each sheet.
By creating a cartoon set, you can ensure that the final construction document set includes all desired
information. You can also use this method to ensure that the construction document set meets standards
established by your organization.
With Revit Architecture, you can create a digital cartoon set. First add the required views (drawings and
schedules) to the project, and sketch the basic design of the building model. Add the desired sheets to the
project, and give them appropriate names and numbers. Then add the views to the appropriate sheets. If
desired, you can set the view scales, titles, and other attributes now, so the resulting sheets use the desired
settings.
Even though these views and sheets do not yet show the completed design, they provide an overall structure
for the project. As you develop the building model in the project views, the schedules update accordingly,
and the sheets display the desired information. This technique streamlines the project documentation
process.
When you create a digital cartoon set that reflects corporate standards or a typical project setup, you can
use the project to create a project template. See Sheets in Project Templates on page 970.
