Creating an interior elevation in Revit involves a straightforward process that requires careful attention to detail and familiarity with the software’s interface. Follow these organized steps to successfully generate an interior elevation view in your Revit project:
Preparing Your Project
- Access the Floor Plan: Launch your Revit project and navigate to the [Level 1] floor plan or the relevant floor level where you wish to create the interior elevation.
Initiating the Elevation Command
- Select the Elevation Tool: Navigate to the ‘View’ tab located at the top of your screen. Within the panel labeled ‘Create’, locate and click on the ‘Elevation’ button to initiate the elevation creation process.
Setting Up the Elevation
- Choose Interior Elevation Option: Once the elevation tool is activated, you will direct your attention to the ‘Properties’ palette. Here, ensure that you select the ‘Interior Elevation’ option, which allows for the creation of an elevation that reflects the interior aspects of your design.
Positioning the Elevation Marker
Placement on the Floor Plan: Hover your mouse over the wall or area in the floor plan where you want the interior elevation to be displayed. The system will provide a preview of the elevation marker, which you can position accurately as needed.
- Confirm the Selection: Click to place the elevation marker at your desired location. The marker typically consists of a triangle, indicating the direction of the view, which can be adjusted afterward if necessary.
Finalizing the Elevation View
- Adjust the View Settings (if needed): After placing the elevation marker, you may further adjust the settings of the view. Right-click the elevation marker and select ‘View’, which will take you to the specific elevation view where you can edit further details, such as annotations and dimensions as required.
Additional Considerations
Creating Multiple Elevation Views: To create several internal elevation views within a single room, simply repeat the process, ensuring to place each marker as needed to encompass all relevant areas such as kitchen appliances or different wall sections.
- Understanding Elevation Tags: To enhance clarity in your project, you may want to customize the tags associated with your interior elevations. This can be done through the ‘Manage’ tab, where you can select ‘Settings’ and adjust the ‘Elevation Tags’ options accordingly.
