Sectional Perspectives! - for later versions as well

1. Go to Ground Floor Plan, place a camera face on to the plane you want to cut
2. When the camera view opens, tick 'section box'
3. Click on the section box boundary to activate the grab handles and open the floor plan view again - section box lines should still be highlighted for you to move (if not, go back to camera view etc)


For later versions of Revit, see this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaRcLLXsOq0

Linking Files

Linking other Revit files

eg. electrical services etc.

Open a 3D view in the main file so you easily see what's going on with the position of the linked file, if needed. (Note: if 'Link Revit' is greyed out, this should also fix that).

1. Insert menu, 'Link Revit'
2. Navigate to the place where the other revit files are. IMPORTANT - all the files to be linked, including the main file, must be in the same folder/place.
3. Select the file and choose to link as below, with positioning using 'Auto - by shared coordinates' (this assumes you are all using the correct coordinates)
