Sheets by View (Trial)

Introduction

Revit users often find themselves spending a lot of time creating sheets for their views. It can be a tedious and time-consuming process, especially when dealing with multiple views. However, with the Sheets by View (Trial) plugin, this task becomes much simpler and more efficient.

Key Features

The Sheets by View (Trial) add-in for Autodesk® Revit® is designed to streamline the process of creating sheets for selected views. The plugin allows users to select their desired views within a Revit file and automatically generates a sheet for each of them simultaneously. This can save a considerable amount of time, particularly for projects with numerous views that require corresponding sheets.

One of the standout features of this plugin is the ability to customize the title block used in the sheet, as well as set the sheet number and name. Users have the option to define the location of the view within the title block by selecting a point inside the block as the center point of the viewport or by creating a region with two points, with the center of this region automatically set as the center of the viewport. This feature allows for precise control over the placement of views on sheets, ensuring a professional and polished result.

Furthermore, the plugin allows users to define the margins of the title block to create an available region inside it. This level of customization ensures that views are accurately positioned within the sheet without any overlap or misalignment.

Ease of Use

The Sheets by View (Trial) plugin is remarkably user-friendly and intuitive to use. The interface is clean and straightforward, making it easy for even novice Revit users to navigate and operate the tool effectively. The modeless forms allow users to continue working in Revit while running the plugin, enhancing productivity and convenience.

It is important to note that while the plugin allows for modifications to the model in Revit during use, editing views or sheet names and numbers or deleting them is restricted. This precaution prevents unintended changes and ensures that the sheet creation process remains smooth and error-free.

Conclusion

Overall, the Sheets by View (Trial) plugin offers a valuable solution for Revit users seeking to streamline their sheet creation process. With its efficient functionality, customizable options, and user-friendly interface, the plugin simplifies the task of generating sheets for multiple views, saving time and effort in the design and documentation workflow.

We highly recommend giving the Sheets by View (Trial) plugin a try for your next Revit project. The trial version allows for 10 days of use, during which you can create sheets for up to 10 views. If you find the plugin beneficial and wish to unlock its full potential, a paid version is also available through the Bimodel apps.
