Let s take a simple revit model in order to demonstrate the use of the elevation tool.
Adde elevation tag floor plan revit.
When placing spot elevations onto the surface of a floor you get a stop symbol.
There doesn t seem to be a way in the tag properties to reassign the elevation tag level reference.
Today i have created a new plan to detail another room.
Choose a reference view label from a list of existing names or create an empty view that you can edit later.
Of course when they latter opened the floor plan they couldn t find the elevation tag.
This video shows you how to place a spot elevation in revit on a topography height.
Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.
The elevation tag because it is smart breaks down into three basic parts or elements.
Open a plan or callout view.
It uses a workaround exporting and importing a dwg file.
For a long list of view names it can be helpful to enter keywords in the search field to.
In these new plan views i am creating interior elevation views with the elevation tag shown on the plans.
With respect to creating exterior elevation views of a building for example it is done in a floor plan view and by default revit creates a view port for which the elevation is captured and the view port exists in plan view as well.
Change the visual style to hidden line or another one which shows the surface of the floor.
Click view tabcreate panelelevation drop down elevation.
Let s go ahead and create an elevation of the side of the building.
The visual style is set to wireframe or you are trying to annotate a point of face of a shape edited floor.
I have a situation where a new revit user unknowingly placed an elevation tag callout on the roof level verses the floor level.
Please also note that revit can place spot elevations only along the edges of a shape edited floor.
Let s also take a look at our building in plan.
Select a reference view from the drop down list.
If they hadn t spent so much time creating the elevations i would just have them.
