How to create new level in revit
Creating a new level in Revit involves several steps, which I'll outline below. Please note that the process may vary slightly depending on the version of Revit you're using.
Prerequisites:
- You have a Revit project open.
- You have a basic understanding of Revit's architecture and how to navigate the interface.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Open the Project Browser: Click on the "Project Browser" button in the top-left corner of the Revit window or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + B.
- Right-click on the Levels: In the Project Browser, right-click on the "Levels" folder and select "New Level" from the context menu.
- Enter the Level Name: In the "Create New Level" dialog box, enter a name for your new level. This will help you identify the level in your project.
- Set the Level Offset: You can set the level offset by entering a value in the "Offset" field. This will determine the vertical position of the new level relative to the existing levels.
- Choose the Level Type: You can choose from three level types:
- Floor: A floor level, which is typically used for horizontal surfaces like floors and roofs.
- Ceiling: A ceiling level, which is typically used for vertical surfaces like ceilings and walls.
- Grid: A grid level, which is used to create a grid system for your project.
- Click OK: Click "OK" to create the new level.
- Verify the Level: In the Project Browser, you should now see your new level listed under the "Levels" folder. You can verify that the level has been created by checking the "Level" parameter in the Properties palette.
Additional Tips:
- You can also create a new level by using the "Level" tool in the "Architecture" tab of the ribbon. To do this, select the "Level" tool, click on the location where you want to create the new level, and then enter the level name and offset in the "Create New Level" dialog box.
- If you want to create a new level that is based on an existing level, you can use the "Duplicate Level" option in the "Create New Level" dialog box.
- You can also use the "Level" tool to create multiple levels at once by selecting the "Create Multiple Levels" option in the "Create New Level" dialog box.
