How to: refer several sections to same section view in Revit

November 14, 2011 by Edwin Prakoso 1 Comment

When we’re designing a project, there is a good chance that we will have same details, but in different locations. For example, we have same stair details on different locations. We need to place section to each location. But of course, it doesn’t make sense to create a detailed view for each location.

You can create one detailed view, and refer other section to the first view.

To do this, after you activate section tool, activate reference other view in option bar and choose view you want to use as reference.

reference_other_view

 

This method works for sections, callout, elevation views, etc.
