Adding a brace frame elevation

“

- [Instructor] It just dawned on me, we've done everything in a plan view this entire course. I think it's time we start adding some elevation objects. To model vertical elements, we'll need to set up a view to do so. Revit makes it easy to do this by adding what is called a framing elevation. To get started I'm going to go to open, I'm going to browse to my chapter seven, I'm going to grab my structural 34 and then click on open. I'd like to go to the south elevation. So in our project browser let's scroll down and find south elevation. Let's set our detail level to fine. Now in our project browser, let's scroll down to level two. Zoom into this bay here. What we need to do is set up a framing elevation, that means we're going to create an elevation, but it's going to append itself to column line F. Let's go to the view tab. For elevation there's a small drop down arrow. Let's select the framing elevation. Now notice that you can have it inside or outside, but you can't put it in unless you select a grid line. So I'm going to pick a point right here. And hit escape a couple times. Now if we double click on this elevation. We now have an elevation. I'm going to close out of this elevation. And if we select this elevation, we can look at some of the properties of it. We're going to change a lot of this stuff in the next video. But if we scroll down, we can see that the associated datum, this column line F, we could change that. I don't want to. That's what's going to enable us to model cross bracing here. Scroll down a little bit. The view name, we'll just call it framing elevation grid one and two. Apply. Hit escape a couple of times. And we're all set, that's all I wanted to do in this video.
