How to use View Templates in Shop Drawing views?

View Templates are used in Drawing Configurations > Views tab for your assembly views:

1. Use your own view templates

If you already have view templates for Elevations/Sections, Floor Plans and 3D Views, you can skip this step.

2. Create new view templates

Create View Templates for each view (Elevation/Section, Floor Plan and 3D View). It's recommended to open a specific view with a framed wall and follow these steps:

  1. Change the Scale

  2. Increase the Detail Level to Fine

  3. Hide various family categories (e.g. Levels)


  1. In Revit ribbon, View tab > Graphics section > View Templates > Create Template from Current View

  2. Name your template

  3. Modify Visibility/Graphics:

VIEWS SHOWING FRAMES ONLY

Model Categories

  • Structural Framing (for studs, plates, etc.)

  • Structural Connections (for angles, bolts, etc.)

Annotation Categories

  • Dimensions

  • Structural Framing Tags

3. Use Sample Model templates
