  • Autodesk Revit is used for detailing of architectural drawings, structural drawings, MEP detailing drawings.
  • Autodesk Revit is used for 2D as well as 3D modelling.
  • It automatically updates floor plans, elevations, and sections as your model develops.
• Creating a new project-
  • In Autodesk Revit software we can create a new project using template option.
  • As we use template while creating new project, we have the files with pre-managed files for our ease as per drawing needs.
  • For creating a new project we go to NEW option from models and then choose a template as per our requirement.
• Project shared coordinates-
  • When you combine multiple models and files in a single project, use shared coordinates to establish the positions of the files in relation to each other.
  • A Revit project has internal coordinates for all the elements that compose the model in a project

PROCEDURE-

STEP 1-

• Open an architectural template. 
• 

STEP 2-

• Manage tab
• 
• Go on drop down menu and select specify coordinate points.

  • This allows you to determine whether grid lines appear in each new plan view that you create for a project.
  • Grids can be straight lines, arcs or multi-segmented. You can hide grid lines after you add them.
  • Grids are annotation elements that help organize your design.
  • Add grid lines to a model to create a reference and framework for the design.
