Creating a brace frame sheet

“

- This video actually jumped us ahead a little bit because there's a whole chapter on creating sheets. In this case, I'd like to create some sheets, but before I do that, I want to make a bunch of callouts. In Revit under models, let's open one up. In your exercise files under chapter five, grab structural 05-05, click open. Let's go up to level two. Let's go to our south elevation. Notice that that brace frame is sitting right in there. Let's zoom into our brace frame. On the view tab, click the callout button. Let's pick a point like right about here. Let's come all the way down to about here. I'm going to select my callout. Notice that I can move this around. So I'll grab this grip here, and we're going to whoop over to here somewhere. Now, hit escape a couple of times. Let's double click on the callout. This is going to open up our little callout here, but let's change the name of it, of course. For the view name, cap locks, we'll call it BRACE FRAME-A. Let's set the scale to a quarter inch equals a foot. Let's create another callout. Click on callout. Let's put a window right around this gusset plate here. Then, I can grab my little bubble, drag it out. And what did we call this? We called this PL-01. So let's double click on this callout. Let's change the scale to three quarters of an inch equals a foot. And the view name is PL-01. Ooh, there's a good detail here. I kind of want to show that hidden line in there. What we can do, if you go to the view tab, click the show hidden lines button. Notice down on the left hand corner, it of gives you a command prompt. First pick, select elements to show hidden lines through. So let's grab this tube here and let's grab this gusset. It shows the hidden line through there. I like it. Let's dimension it. Click align dimension. Go from the column over to here. Go from here to the top of the gusset. Now what I'd like to do is on the quick access toolbar here, click the little tag button. Let's select the plate right here. Hit escape a few times. Let's select our plate tag. We'll keep it on standard, but I'd like to kind of move it out of the way a little bit. For the leader type, instead of attached end, we'll go free end. Now we can kind of drag this over to here. Go ahead and select your plate. Structural material, we don't want a metal stud layer. So, click into here. Let's click the little browse button. Type in steel, S-T-E-E-L. Now we can widen this. We can widen this a little bit. And we'll grab steel A-36. Click add materials to document, replace that one. Now let's click okay, and it's going to tell you what that is. So if we select this, if we click edit type for the leader arrowhead, instead of none, we'll grab arrow filled 15 degrees. Click apply. Click okay. Okay. Now we could do that for the rest of these gussets, but let's create the sheet. So I'm going to scroll down in my project browser until we get the sheets all, and I'm going to right click on sheets all, and we'll go new sheet. Now, let's click okay. Now, for my framing elevations, I'm going to grab BRACE FRAME COLUMN 1-2, and drag that onto the sheet here. I'm going to put it down here. I'm going to grab my south elevation, and I'm going to drag that onto here. I'm going to put that over here. It's close. Notice that when I drag this over and move it down, it actually will line the building up for me. I'm going to grab PL-01. I'm going to drag that over to here, and I'm going to put this above it. Okay. And I'm going to grab BRACE FRAME A, I'm going to drag that over to here. I'm going to put this right about here. Hit escape a few times. So now notice that we've got 4 S1 BRACE FRAME A, PL-01. When we get into the sheets chapter, we'll rename this and move stuff around. But for now, I just want to show you how to make a brace frame sheet.
