CHAPTER 12

Detailing

Simply put, if detailing doesn't work, then you'll use Revit only as a schematic design application. It's imperative that you can detail in Revit efficiently. When firms fail in the attempt to use Revit, it's because of detailing. In fact, many of you who have bought this book may jump straight to this chapter. And why is that? It's because many people (including me) buy into the concept of really cool 3D perspectives and one-button modeling. So, here's what we are going to tackle in this chapter:

  • Working with line weights
  • Drafting on top of the detail
  • Adding notes
  • Creating blank drafting views
