Creating A Detail View - Autodesk 256B1-05A761-1301 - AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2010 User Manual

Sample Detail View
The following image shows a sample of a Wall Section Detail with model geometry as the underlay and
additional 2D detail components added.

Creating a Detail View

You can create a callout from a plan, section, or elevation view and then add detail components while using
the model geometry as a base. When you create a callout or section detail, you can reference another detail
or drafting view in the project.
The following is a general procedure for creating a callout or section detail from a Revit Architecture view.
Your design intentions may differ. You can also use this procedure for imported drawings. See
on page 1386.

Click View tab
Click View tab
2 Click Callout or Section tab
from the Type Selector drop-down.
3 On the Options Bar, select an appropriate detail scale.
4 To reference another detail or drafting view, on the Options Bar, click Reference other view,
and select a view from the list.
5 Choose 2 points on the plan view to define where the section is cutting.
NOTE If this is a callout view, select the area to include in the callout view.
6 Click View tab
7 In the Instance Properties dialog, for Display Model, select As underlay, and click OK.
Model elements in the callout view display using underlay settings, allowing you to visually see
the difference between the model geometry and added detail components. (See
on page 497.)
