The Element panel displays the current element type. Click Change Element Type to select other types.
Draw Tools
Linear elements include walls, lines, detail lines, and sketches for floors, roofs, stairs and railings. Draw tools are used to draw linear elements such as the walls. They display in the contextual ribbon when you select a command to draw any element. The available tools vary according to the element being drawn. There are two different styles of tools: one where you draw the element using a geometric form, and another where you pick an existing element, such as a line, face, or wall as the basis for the new elements geometry.
Draw Options
Other options display according to the type of element you are drawing. When you are in Drawing mode, several options display in the Options Bar. The Chain option controls how many segments are drawn in one process, if it is not selected the Line and Arc tools only draw one segment at a time, if it is selected, you can continue drawing segments until you select the command again. The Offset option draws the linear elements at a specific distance from the selected points. For example, set the Offset distance to 10-0 and select the end points of an existing wall to create a new wall 10-0 away. When using a radial draw tool, you can select the Radius option and add a radius in the edit field. To draw angled lines, move your cursor to the desired angle shown by the dynamic dimensions, and type the distance value. The angle increments vary depending on how far in or out the view is zoomed.

Draws four linear elements defined from two opposing corner points. You can adjust the dimensions after selecting both points. Draws a polygon inscribed in a hypothetical circle with the number of sides specified in the Options Bar. Draws a polygon circumscribed around a hypothetical circle with the number of sides specified in the Options Bar. Draws a circular linear element defined by a center point and radius. Draws a curved linear element defined by the start, end and radius of the arc. The outside dimension shown is included angle of the arc. The inside dimension is the radius. Draws a curved linear element defined by the center, radius and included angle. The selected points of the radius also define the start point of the arc. Draws a curved linear element tangent to another element. Select an end point for the first point, but not the intersection of two or more elements. Then select a second point based on the included angle of the arc. Draws a curved linear element defined by two other linear elements and a radius. Because it is difficult to select the correct radius by clicking, command automatically moves to the edit phase. Select the dimension and modify the radius of the fillet. Draws a curved linear element based on selected points. The curve does not actually touch the points. (Model and Detail Lines only). Defines an ellipse from a primary and secondary axis. (Model and Detail Lines only). Draws only one side of the ellipse, like an arc. A partial ellipse also has a primary and secondary axis. (Model and Detail Lines only).

Pick Tools Pick Lines Use this option to select linear elements that exist in the project. This is very when you start the Revit model from an imported 2D drawing. Use this option to pick the face of a 3D massing element (walls only). Use this option to pick an existing wall in the project to be the basis for a new sketch line (floors, ceilings etc).
Drawing Aids
As soon as you start drawing in Revit Architecture, three drawing aids appear on the screen: alignment lines, temporary dimensions and snaps. These are available with most drawing and many modification commands.
Alignment Lines
Angles display at 90, 45, 15, 5 and 1 degree increments. The order of the angle list controls the power level of the snap. For example, the 90 degree angle is most likely to display if you are close to horizontal or vertical. Dashed alignment lines display as soon as you select your first. They help keep lines horizontal, vertical or at a specified angle. They also line up with the implied intersections of walls or other elements. Hold down <Shift> to force the alignments to be orthogonal.
Temporary Dimensions
Along with alignment lines, temporary dimensions display as you draw to help you to place linear elements (such as walls) at the proper length and location. You can move the cursor to the exact dimension or place it approximately and then modify the dimensions as needed. This gives you the opportunity to sketch the building and then come back and use the parametric engine to update the model with greater precision. For Imperial measurements (feet and inches), Revit Architecture understands a default of feet. For example, when you type 4, it assumes 4-0. To indicate inches, type the inch mark () after the distance. For a distance such as 4-6, you can type any of the following: 4 -6, 4 6, 4-6 or 4 6 (the numbers separated by a space). The increments displayed for dimensions change as you zoom in closer to the elements. These dimension snap increments are for both linear and angular dimensions, and can be set in the Snaps dialog box.
TA859 BARCH 18
BCA Academy
Temporary dimensions disappear as soon as you finish drawing linear elements. If you want to make them permanent, select the control. Dimensions are a powerful tool to help create and annotate the model.
Snaps
Snaps are key points that help you reference existing elements when drawing to exact points. They include Endpoints, Midpoints, Nearest, Work Plane Grid, Quadrants, Intersections, Centers, Perpendicular, Tangents and Points. When you move your cursor over an element, the Snap symbol displays. Each snap location type appears with a different symbol. To modify the snap settings, open the Snaps dialog box. Here you can set which snap points are active, as well as the snap distances (for dimension and angular increments). It also shows the keyboard shortcuts for each snap, which you can use to override the automatic snapping. In the Manage tab>Project Settings panel, expand (Settings) and select Snaps.
3.2
Architectural design projects typically involve extensive changes to the positions of walls, doors and other elements. Revit Architecture was designed to make such changes easy. The (Modify) command works with all of the different element types. With the command active, when you hover your cursor over an element a tooltip displays information about it. With the command active, when you select an element there are a number of ways to change it. Element-specific properties and tools appear in the contextual tab in the Ribbon. Dynamic dimensions enable you to change the elements dimensions. Controls enable you to drag, flip, lock and rotate the element.
To delete an element, select it and press <Delete> or click (Delete) in the Modify panel.
Selecting Elements
To select a single element, place your cursor over it and select it. To add another element to a selection set, old down <Ctrl> and select another item.
TA859 BARCH 19
BCA Academy
To remove an element from a selection set, hold down <Shift> and select the element. If you window around elements by clicking and dragging the cursor, you have two selection options. If you drag from left to right, you only select the elements completely inside the window. If you drag from right to left, you select elements both inside and crossing the window. If several elements are on or near each other, press <Tab> before you click to cycle through them. If there are elements that might be linked to each other, such as walls that are connected, <Tab> selects the chain of elements. Press <Ctrl> + <Left Arrow> to reselect the previous selection set. You can also right-click in the drawing window with nothing selected and select Select Previous. To select all elements of a specific type, right-click on an element and select Select All Instances. When multiple elements are selected, the Multi-Select contextual tab opens in the Ribbon.

Move/Copy Elements
The Move and Copy commands have several options that display in the Options Bar. Constrain Restricts the movement of the cursor to horizontal or vertical, or along the axis of an item that is at an angle. This keeps you from selecting a point at an angle by mistake. Constrain is off by default. Breaks any connection between the elements being moved and other elements. If Disjoin is on, the elements move separately. If it is off, the connected elements also move or stretch. Disjoin is off by default. Makes a copy of the elements that are being moved. This is off by default if you select the Move command, and on by default if you select the Copy command. Enables you to make multiple copies of one selection. Multiple is off by default.
Copy
With the exception of the Multiple options, the options revert to their defaults each time you restart the command. These commands only work within the current view, not between views or projects. To copy between views or projects, use (Copy to Clipboard) and (Paste).
Rotating Elements
The Rotate command enables you to rotate selected elements around a center point. You can use all alignment lines, temporary dimensions and snaps to help specify the center point and rotation. You can also create copies of the element that is rotated.

5. In the Options Bar, type an angle in the Angle field, and press <Enter>, or specify the angle on screen. To specify the angle on screen, select a point for the rotate start ray-the reference line for the rotation angle. Then select a second point, using the temporary dimension to help you set the angle. 6. The rotated element(s) remain highlighted, enabling you to start another command, or press <Esc> to finish.
Rotate Options
Disjoin Breaks any connections between the elements being rotated and other elements. If Disjoin is on, the elements rotate separately. If it is off, the connected elements also move or stretch. Disjoin is off by default. Creates a copy of the elements being rotated. Sets the angle for the rotation.

Modifying Arrays
When you select an element in an array that is created as a group, the associated shape controls and dimensions appear. You can modify the number of instances and for radial arrays, the distance to the center. To remove the constraint on the group, select one of the elements in the group and click (Ungroup) in the Group panel in the contextual tab. If you want to add or remove other non-arrayed elements to or from the group, click (Edit Group) in the Group panel in the contextual tab. This puts you in in-place edit mode (light yellow background) and displays the Edit Group panel at the end of the current tab.

Walls in Revit Architecture are more than just two lines on a plan. They are full 3D elements that show height, thickness and materials among other things. As with moat elements in Revit Architecture, you can select from a list of types in the Change Element Type selector and set additional options such as the Height and Location Line. Walls can easily be modified using dynamic dimensions, controls and properties. Wall types enable you to use different styles for various needs.
4. In the Options Bar, set the Height of the Walls. It can be set to an unconnected height or to the height of a level. 5. Set the Location Line (location line) for the justification of the wall as you draw. Options include Wall Centerline, Core Centerline, Finish Face: Exterior, Finish Face: Interior, Core Face: Exterior, and Core Face: Interior. 6. In the Options Bar, three more options are available. They are described in the table below. Chain

7. Select points to draw the walls. The alignment lines help you draw straight lines at the appropriate angles. The temporary dimensions enable you to set the wall length. You can also snap to specific points on walls and to other elements. Press the <Spacebar> to switch the orientation of the wall while drawing it (flip inside/outside for compound walls with different materials). You can also do this after the walls are created. 8. Press <Esc> to finish the group of walls if using the Chain Option. In the Selection panel, click (Modify) to end the command and return to the Home tab.
Modifying Walls
Revit Architecture provides several methods of modifying walls. For example, you can change the type of wall with Change Element Type or expand (Element Properties) and click (Instance Properties). You can change the length of the wall with dynamic dimensions. Several other controls also help you change the length and orientation of a wall. To see the hatching in the walls, the Detail Level of the view must be set to Medium or Fine. You can set the Detail Level in the View Control Bar. When you select a single element or several elements of the same type (e.g. Several walls), you can change their style in the Change Element Type selector.
There are two types of properties for most elements in Revit Architecture: Instance Properties can be modified for each element. For walls, these include the Location Line (justification), Base, and Top Constraint[s] (height). Type Properties control options for all walls of the same type. If you modify these parameters, all walls of the selected type change.
BCA Academy
The properties (i.e. parameters) shown in the Instance Properties dialog box vary according to the type of element selected. Properties are separated into several categories. The primary section in the Instance Parameters for Wall Properties is Constraints, which includes the Location Line, Base, and Top Constraint[s], Offsets and Room Bounding. The other available parameter sections include Structural Usage, Dimensions, Identity Data and Phasing. Two categories that are found on all elements, not just walls, are Identity Data and Phasing. The Identity Data category applies to all elements and has two sub-categories: Comments and Mark. Comments for each element can be added to a schedule. Mark displays the value of a tag placed on the element. The Phasing category also applies to all elements and has two sub-categories: Phase Created and Phase Demolished. Phasing displays different information and according to the Phase in which the elements were created or demolished.
Additional door and window styles are available in the Change Element Type.
