# Smart Views

{% hint style="warning" %}
The **Smart Views** tool will be discontinued in 2026. It's being replaced by **Smart Documentation.**

You can migrate your existing **Smart Views** configurations to Smart Documentation by following [**this guide**](https://docs.besmart.software/2d-drafting-and-documentation/smart-documentation/migrating-smart-views-smart-assemblies-and-sort-mark-configurations-to-smart-documentation).

The Smart Views articles are currently being updated
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In the **Smart Documentation** tool, Smart Views appears under the name **Views**. This guide will use the Smart Documentation tool for demonstration purposes.
{% endhint %}

The Smart Views tool provides an efficient way to **batch-create numerous project views** for selected Revit elements. Newly created views can come **already tagged and dimensioned** (if Smart Tags and Smart Dimensions are applied) and are **automatically sized** to the selected elements.

You can learn more about related tools here:

* [**Smart Tags**](https://docs.besmart.software/common-for-several-products/smart-tags)
* [**Smart Dimensions**](https://docs.besmart.software/common-for-several-products/smart-dimensions)

Smart Views operates based on **configurations**, which define what types of views to create, their properties, and the tagging/dimensioning rules applied. Users can create different configurations for specific tasks, reuse them as needed, and collaborate with colleagues on shared configurations.

This tool works with most Revit elements.

The **Smart Assemblies** tool (named **Assemblies** in Smart Documentation) also belongs to Smart Documentation. It works similarly to Smart Views but creates Assemblies and their associated views.
