New! Create Empty Sheets

Create empty or Placeholder Sheets using an existing Sheet as template.

This new feature is located in “Manage Sheets & Views” menu bar, replacing “Specify number of drawings” option in “Create Multiple Sheets”.

Either choose to create several empty Sheets with title block, name and start number from selected Sheet or create Placeholder sheets only using name and start number from the template.

Empty Sheets will show up in Project Browser. Placeholder Sheets will only show up in a Sheet List but can be used when creating a new Sheet in Revit.

New! Add Type Images

Easily add Type Images to families in the project for use in Schedules.

This new feature, located in “Manage Project” menu bar let you add Type Images to parametric families in the project in an easy way without using the Family Editor. You can either create and use a preview image for each type or select images to use.

Start by pre-selecting family instances in the model or by selecting Family Types in Project Browser. Then Start the new “Add Type Images” feature.

When using the Preview image option; the feature will create a preview image for each type using the view defined as “Thumbnail Preview” on the family.

Once you have type images on your families you can create a schedule including Type Images. Images will be displayed when placing the Schedule on a Sheet.

Create Sheets with multiple Views using an existing Sheet as template.

We have extended and renamed the “Create Sheet from Plan Views” tool make it easy to create sheets from all kinds of views and create sheets with different view types on it. With these changes this feature replaces the “Select Views” option in “Create Multiple Sheets”.

Main features are:

  • Select an existing Sheet as template to use for the new Sheets by choosing from all Sheets in the project or any linked project
  • See a preview of the selected Sheet template
  • Select views to create new sheets for based on view types on selected Sheet template
  • Automatic assign of view to the sheets if you for example want to create sheets for a big number of sections quickly
  • Easy to use manual assignment of views to each individual sheet
