Assembling the Sheet Views and Portfolio
Starting the Tutorial
- Start Revit 2021 by clicking on the icon on the desktop.
- Open the last file from Tutorial Six, RL6-5.
- Save the file as RL7-1.
Note: Since there are many parts to this tutorial, you may wish to not save the tutorial at the end of each part. This will save a considerable amount of disk space.
In this last tutorial you will set up the different sheet views needed for the project. After the sheets are created and set up, you will then assemble the files into a portfolio. You will use another program to create the PDF files and merge them into one file.
If you have difficulty viewing the book examples of the sheets, download the PDF example of the portfolio within the website support files.
