The provided video excerpt suggests that floor plans can be organized and categorized within the Revit Project Browser based on their type. Here's how you can influence how floor plans appear:
- Plan Type: The video mentions assigning floor plans to specific types, such as "Floor Plans" or "General Arrangement Floor Plans." The type dictates how the plan is grouped and listed in the Project Browser.
- Edit Type: The video highlights the ability to edit the type properties. By selecting a floor plan and going to "Edit Type" in the Properties palette, you can modify its associated type. This control determines the plan's placement within the Project Browser organization.
To add a floor plan and see it reflected in the Project Browser:
- Create a New Floor Plan: Use the "View" tab, then "Plan Views," and select "Floor Plan." Choose the desired level for the new plan.
- Assign or Modify the Plan Type: After creating the plan, select it in the Project Browser or the drawing area.
- Check the Properties Palette: In the Properties palette, look for the "View Template" or "View Type" parameter.
- Select Appropriate Type: Choose an appropriate type from the dropdown list. Common types include "Floor Plan," or any other custom plan type created in your project template. You might need to create a custom plan type if none of the existing ones fit your needs. This is done through the "Edit Type" dialog for a selected floor plan.
- Verify Visibility: If the plan is still not visible, check the "Discipline" and "Sub-Discipline" parameters, as these influence the plan's display within the Project Browser organization.
