Level views and callouts

Verification scope

The steps and conditions below follow the current implementation. Runtime evidence is identified separately; availability of every command on the installed ribbon has not been verified.

Find these commands under BimSpeed.ARC → Drawing → View. Use a separate practice model. Inspect View Family/Type, View Template, Scale, Associated Level, Crop and sheet placement after creation; a correct name alone does not establish a correct view.

View3D By Levels

Select levels with Ctrl/Shift. View Template accepts a 3D template or None. Prefix / Suffix surround each level name. Top Offset / Bottom Offset (mm) define Z limits relative to that same level, rather than automatically using the next level. At level 0, Top 500 and Bottom −500 create a 1000 mm band. Use a suitable larger Top, such as 3500, to include a 3000 mm storey. Ok creates views; inspect each Section Box. Duplicate names receive appended dots. Close exits. Complete entry-command generation remains unverified.

Duplicate Views

Select source views in Project Browser or supported viewport selections. Choose View Type, View Template, edit names individually or use Find/Replace → Apply, then OK. The implementation uses WithDetailing. Revit may reject type/template changes that the command attempts, so inspect the duplicate's Properties. Cancel creates nothing. Dimension/tag parity with the original view still needs a runtime case.

Create Callout

The command asks for a region before showing its modeless window. Set View Name and View Template. Enable Create New Sheet to enter Sheet Number, Sheet Name and Title Block. Run creates the views/sheet. Check the crop, template-controlled scale and viewport. Use an unused sheet number.

Duplicate Callout

Use Pick Callout, choose View Type, search/filter levels and select targets. Reset/Clear Search clears filters without deleting callouts. Enable Place on Sheet, then select an existing sheet or Create New Sheet with Number/Name. Execute runs; Cancel exits. Inspect each target's level and crop, not only the count of new names.

Create Section From Elevation

Start in an Elevation View. Section from Grid (Vertical) has Pick Grids, bounding Pick Levels, Offset Distance and Section Template. Section from Level (Horizontal) has Pick Levels, bounding Pick Grids and Offset Height. X removes one row; Clear All clears its list. Choose an existing sheet or Create New Sheet with Number/Name. Create Sections runs; Cancel exits. Check view direction, depth and cut geometry. Confirm displayed offset units in the exercised release before batch use.

Create Plan Views

Choose target levels, a compatible plan type and template, review names and create. Inspect Associated Level and View Range; plan and 3D views are separate view families. The installed HTConstruction window and output have not yet been captured, so its complete live control set remains unconfirmed.

Continue with sheet placement and crop. Door/WC workflows use separate commands.

Create Plan Views review table

The Create View tab has Select/Deselect All for levels and view configurations. Custom Name edits the base name; Add to Review queues combinations. Remove/Delete Selected/Clear Review removes proposed rows. Review columns show Level, Base Name, Full Name, Template and View Type. Create Views writes model views. Configuration has Add/Delete Row, Clear All, Base View Name, Naming Rule, View Template and View Type. Save Configuration to Disk saves a preset without creating views. Review full names/templates first. Reopened configuration and generated views still need runtime evidence.

UI on the Revit 2024 practice model

Create 3D View By Level uses real English controls: ① template and naming; ② top/bottom offsets; ③ level selection. Verify each resulting Section Box after creation. This settings screenshot verifies the window; the OkCommand result on two levels is described below.

Create Callout: view context before Run

The real English window shows ① View Name, ② Select View Template, ③ Create New Sheet / Select TitleBlock and ④ Run. Switch to a suitable plan/section, start the command and pick its region before the window appears. Its initial name comes from the active view; DOCS ARC QS model in this screenshot does not prove a valid 3D callout. Enter a unique name and compatible template. Enable Create New Sheet when required and select a loaded title block. A title block in the list is not evidence that a sheet was created. Run creates from the previously stored region; it does not prompt for another region. A constructor-only window capture can have no valid region, and Run does not repair missing selection. Verify the callout, parent, Scale/View Template and any viewport, then save/reopen. This window was observed; callout generation remains unverified here.

Duplicate Views: naming before creation

The observed Duplicate View window mixes Vietnamese table/batch-name labels with English controls; it is not embedded as an English screenshot. View Type/View Template choose changes for copies. Find/Replace and its Apply button edit proposed names; the editable new-name column is separate from the source-name column. Check uniqueness before OK creates copies. Cancel exits. Proposed names alone do not prove copied annotations.

View3D By Levels: output on two existing levels

This run used template None, Prefix DOCS_LEVEL_, Suffix _1500_-300, Top Offset 1500mm, Bot Offset −300mm and two existing levels. Ok committed two views. No was selected for the subsequent navigation question; the created views remained in Project Browser. That question controls navigation, not transaction cancellation.

Source level	Actual elevation	Section Box minZ / maxZ
Green Roof Hardscape	18262.6mm	17962.6 /19762.6mm
Parapet	19354.8mm	19054.8 /20854.8mm

Each box is 1800mm high relative to its own level. ① Scale is 1:96 in this Imperial project, not1:100; ② Section Box is enabled; ③ shows View Template=None and the view name; ④ is actual roof geometry within the elevation range. Changing offsets affects newly created views, not existing ones automatically. Check names, save separately and reopen the prepared view. Crop View/Annotation Crop are not substitutes for a3D Section Box.
