To split columns by level in Revit, utilize the "Split Columns by Levels" option during the Copy/Monitor process. Here's a breakdown of the steps:
- Access the Options: When using Copy/Monitor, navigate to the Columns tab.
- Enable Splitting: Within the Columns tab, locate and check the "Split Columns by Levels" option. This tells Revit you want to divide the columns based on level intersections.
- Initiate Copy/Monitor: Use the Copy tool within Copy/Monitor.
- Select Multiple Columns (Optional but Recommended): To efficiently apply this setting to several columns, ensure the "Multiple" checkbox is selected before selecting the columns.
- Select Columns: Choose the columns you want to split by level.
- Finish Initial Selection: Click Finish (the first "Finish" button – the one associated with the multiple selection).
- Complete Copy/Monitor: Go back to the Copy/Monitor tool and click Finish again (the overall Copy/Monitor Finish button) to finalize the process.
This procedure ensures that Revit automatically divides the selected columns into segments corresponding to each level they intersect.
