Resizing the Insulation Length
1 Select the insulation.
2 Click and drag one of the blue dot controls that appear on the ends of the insulation. See Controls
and Shape Handles on page 349.
Resizing the Bulge Between Insulation Lines
1 Select the insulation.
2 Click Modify Insulation Batting Lines tab
➤
Element panel
➤
Element Properties, and in the
Instance Properties dialog specify a value for the Insulation Bulge to Width Ratio (1/x).
A smaller value increases the bulge, while a larger value decreases it.
Detailing
Revit Architecture is a building information modeler. You construct a project as a digital representation of
the physical objects in the real world. However, not every component needs to be modeled in 3D. Architects
create standard details to represent how materials in the larger project are constructed. Details bridge the
gap between architectural design and building reality, conveying information to the builders and contractors
on how a design should be built. Details are vital additions to a project, because they show how materials
should interconnect.
Types of Views for Detailing
There are 2 main types of views you can create for detailing: detail views and drafting views. A detail view
contains elements from the building information model. A drafting view is a sheet of paper that is not
directly associated with the building information model.
Detail Views
A detail view is a view of the model that appears as a callout or section in other views. This type of view
typically represents the model at finer scales of detail than in the parent view. It is used to add more
information to specific parts of the model.
Visibility of a detail view tag depends on the scale of the parent view and whether the crop boundary of the
detail view intersects or is entirely within that of the parent view. The detail view parameter Hide at Scales
Coarser Than establishes a scale at which details are either shown or hidden in other views. For example, if
a detail tag is set to hide at scales coarser than 1/4”=1’0”, then a view with a scale set to 1/8" = 1'-0" would
not show the detail tag.
A detail view can be created as a section or a callout. It can have both section and callout annotations
assigned to it. That is, a detail view made as a callout can also show up as a section in views that intersect
the callout view extents. For example, you may call out a detail view of a wall intersection. This same callout
can appear as a section view with annotations within the overall building section view. For annotations to
display in the overall building section view, you must select the Intersecting Views option for the Show In
instance parameter. You set this parameter in the Instance Properties dialog. (Right-click the detail view in
the Project Browser, and click Properties to open this dialog.)
All detail views, regardless of whether you draw them as a callout or section, show up in the Project Browser
as a detail view.
