Below is a step-by-step guide on how to create and place windows in Revit, ensuring they are properly aligned with your design and building elements.
Step 1: Open an Appropriate View
Plan View:
Open a floor plan (e.g., Level 1) from the Project Browser. This view lets you clearly see the walls where you want to add windows.
Elevation View (Optional):
Using an elevation view can help verify vertical placement (like sill and head heights) once the window is placed.
Step 2: Activate the Window Tool
Navigate to the Architecture Tab:
On the ribbon, click the Architecture tab.
Select the Window Tool:
In the Build panel, click the Window icon.
You can also use a shortcut if one is set up.
Step 3: Choose a Window Type
Properties Palette:
When the window tool is active, the Properties palette will display options for window type selection.
Select or Edit a Window Type:
Choose an existing window type from the drop-down list.
If you need a custom size or style, click Edit Type.
Then select Duplicate to create a new family type that you can modify (change dimensions, materials, etc.).
Step 4: Place the Window
Click on the Wall:
With the window tool active, click on the wall where you want to place the window.
Revit automatically aligns the window with the wall’s center or edge based on its family settings.
Adjust Placement:
After clicking, a temporary preview of the window appears.
Move the cursor along the wall to adjust its position before clicking again to confirm placement.
Place Additional Windows:
Continue clicking on other walls to place more windows as needed.
To finish, press Esc or click the Modify tool.
Step 5: Adjust Window Properties and Position
Fine-Tune Horizontal Position:
Use the Move tool or the grips on the window to adjust its position along the wall.
Set Vertical Offsets:
In an elevation view or via the Properties palette, adjust parameters such as Sill Height and Head Height to ensure proper vertical alignment.
Flip or Rotate (If Needed):
Use options like Flip Window from the Properties palette to change the orientation, particularly if the window needs to face a specific direction or is on a mirrored wall.
Step 6: Verify and Annotate
3D and Elevation Views:
Switch to a 3D view (press F3) or open an elevation view to confirm that the windows are placed as intended.
Annotations (Optional):
Use tools from the Annotate tab (e.g., Tag by Category) to label windows if required for documentation.
Additional Tips
Loading New Window Families:
If the default window types don’t meet your design needs, go to Insert → Load Family to add additional window families from your library or external sources.
Family Editing:
For more advanced customizations, you can open the window family in the Family Editor to modify geometry, add custom parameters, or adjust materials.
Coordination:
Always verify that
