Drafting Views - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

This copies the 2D Detail Components (repeating details, detail lines, insulation, and filled
regions) to the new detail view. Although model geometry is not copied, Revit Architecture tries
to map the detail components to the new host geometry in the current project. You will probably
need to change and edit some of the 2D geometry, but this will give you a head start on your
current detail.
The following view-specific elements will not be inserted:
Edit cut profile elements
Elements that cannot be grouped (for example, callout elements that create callout views)
Elements that reference stair railing elements
Elements that reference toposurface elements
Elements that reference in-place families
Elements that reference any elements in this list (for example, dimensions)

Drafting Views

During the course of a project, you may want to create details in a view that are not directly associated with
the model. Rather than create a callout and then add details to it, you may want to create detail conditions
where the model is not needed (for example, a carpet-transition detail which shows where carpet switches
to tile, or roof-drain details not based on a callout on the roof).
You create this unassociated, view-specific detail in a drafting view. The drafting view is not associated with
the model. In a drafting view, you create details at differing view scales (coarse, medium, or fine) and use
2D detailing tools: detail lines, detail regions, detail components, insulation, reference planes, dimensions,
symbols, and text. These are the exact same tools used in creating a detail view. However, drafting views do
not display any model elements. When you create a drafting view in a project, it is saved with the project.
When using drafting views, consider the following:
Similar to other views, drafting views are listed in the Project Browser under Drafting Views. See
Browser on page 55.
All of the detailing tools used in detail views are available to you in drafting views. See
on page 1086.
Any callouts placed in a drafting view must be reference callouts. See
Detailing Tools
Reference Callouts on page 107.
