Create duplicate views

00:04

in this video you'll learn how to duplicate views in various ways.

00:10

You will see how to duplicate views

00:12

with and without duplicating view specific elements.

00:16

You will also see how to duplicate views as dependent views

00:26

in rev it there are tools to create new views

00:30

but there are also tools to duplicate existing views.

00:35

For example

00:37

in the project browser.

00:39

When I right click one of the views,

00:41

you can see that there is a duplicate view option

00:45

and there are three tools here

00:48

duplicate,

00:49

duplicate with detailing

00:51

and duplicate as a dependent.

00:55

Let's take a look at each option.

00:58

Duplicate will duplicate the view

01:01

but not any of the view specific elements.

01:05

For example you can see here. The difference between the original view

01:10

and the new view which we just duplicated.

01:13

Is that the duplicate does not have any of the tags or dimensions.

01:19

But if I go back to the original view, the ground floor,

01:24

overall view and right click and select duplicate view duplicate with detailing.

01:32

Then the view is duplicated

01:34

and the view specific elements are also duplicated.

01:40

After duplicating a view, you typically will rename the view.

01:45

So for the second one the one that we duplicated with detailing.

01:50

All right click and select rename

01:54

and I'll name this one. Ground floor dash furniture

02:05

and the first one I'll simply right click and delete it.

02:11

Additionally the third option will duplicate a view and make it a dependent view.

02:18

Let's take a look at how that works

02:21

in the with the ground floor. Overall view.

02:25

All right click

02:26

and select duplicate view

02:29

duplicate as a dependent

02:32

and when I do that,

02:34

a new view is created

02:36

and it's actually below the ground floor. Overall view

02:41

that becomes a branch in the project browser

02:44

that I can collapse and expand.

02:47

I'll do that one more time.

02:49

I'll right click and select duplicate view,

02:52

duplicate as a dependent

02:56

And now we have two dependent views.

02:60

All right, click each one and rename it

03:04

And one I'll call ground floor area a.

03:11

And the other one I'll right click and select rename

03:15

and rename it

03:16

ground floor area B.

03:23

And so what this does is this allows us

03:25

to create smaller areas of an overall building.

03:30

So in the case where the floor plan view cannot

03:34

fit on the desired sheet at a certain scale,

03:37

you can break it down into smaller areas by creating dependent views.

03:44

And so the next step would be to create scope

03:46

boxes and use those to define the various areas.

03:51

And then we could assign scope boxes to the views to control those crop regions.

03:58

So as you can see there are three duplicate tools

04:04

that you can use to create new views in your project
