How to Organize and Manage Views in Revit
Effectively managing views in Revit improves workflow efficiency, navigation, and project organization. This guide covers essential techniques for organizing, sorting, and filtering views to keep your project structured and easy to work with.
1. Understanding View Types in Revit
Revit has different types of views, including:
✅ Floor Plans – Horizontal cut through the model.
✅ Ceiling Plans – Similar to floor plans but focused on ceilings.
✅ Elevations – Vertical views of a building.
✅ Sections – Cross-sectional views for construction details.
✅ 3D Views – Isometric and perspective views.
✅ Schedules & Legends – Tabular data representation.
✅ Sheets – Layouts for printing and documentation.
📌 Tip: Assign views consistent naming conventions (e.g., "Level 1 - Floor Plan").
2. Organizing Views in the Project Browser
The Project Browser stores all views, making it crucial to organize properly.
A) Group Views by Discipline, Level, or Phase
Right-click Project Browser → Browser Organization.
Go to Views → Edit or create a new one.
In the Grouping and Sorting tab:
Set Discipline (Architectural, Structural, MEP, etc.).
Set Phase (Existing, New Construction, etc.).
Set Level (Level 1, Level 2, etc.).
Click OK → Apply.
📌 Tip: This helps large projects stay structured and avoids clutter.
3. Filtering Views for Better Management
Filtering hides unnecessary views in the Project Browser.
A) Create a Filter for View Types
Right-click Project Browser → Browser Organization → Filters.
Click New and name the filter.
In Filter by, select View Type (e.g., Floor Plan, Section, etc.).
Apply the filter and click OK.
📌 Tip: Use this to only show working views and hide unnecessary ones.
4. Renaming and Categorizing Views
For better organization, rename views clearly:
✅ Good Name: "01 - Level 1 - Floor Plan"
❌ Bad Name: "Plan1"
A) Rename Views in Bulk
Open Project Browser → Select Multiple Views.
Right-click → Rename.
Use a naming convention (e.g., "Discipline - Level - View Type").
📌 Tip: Use View Templates to apply consistent settings across multiple views.
5. Using View Templates for Consistency
View Templates apply predefined settings to views, ensuring consistency.
A) Create a View Template
Go to View Tab → View Templates → Create Template from Current View.
Adjust settings (e.g., visibility, scale, filters).
Click OK → Apply to Selected Views.
📌 Tip: Apply View Templates to multiple views at once to save time.
6. Duplicating Views for Different Purposes
Duplicating views helps create variations without affecting the original.
A) Duplicate a View
Right-click a view in Project Browser.
Select Duplicate View → Choose an option:
Duplicate – Exact copy without annotations.
Duplicate with Detailing – Includes dimensions and annotations.
Duplicate as Dependent – Linked
