Elevation Views
Elevation views are part of the default template in Revit Architecture. When you create a project with the
default template, 4 elevation views are included: north, south, east, and west. It is in elevation views where
you sketch level lines. For each level line that you sketch, a corresponding plan view is created.
You can create additional exterior elevation views, and interior elevation views. Interior elevation views
depict detailed views of interior walls and show how the features of the wall should be built. Examples of
rooms that might be shown in an interior elevation are kitchens and bathrooms.
Elevation Tags
You designate elevations with an elevation tag . The tag snaps to walls as you drag it around with the
cursor. You can set different properties for the tag. See Modifying Elevation Symbol Properties on page 91.
The elevation view arrowhead is visible in a plan view, provided the elevation view’s crop region intersects
the view range of the plan view. If you resize the crop region of the elevation such that it no longer intersects
the view range, the arrowhead does not appear in the plan view.
