Quik Tip - Placing and Working with Views on Sheets

Gonna take this one straight from Mastering Revit Structure 2010.  My bible for Revit.  If you have Revit, you should have this book.  Hats off guys!  Gotta have one in 2012. Ok, here it is.

Within the (Project Browser), RIGHT CLICK the sheet onto which you will be placing a view, and select ADD VIEW.  This action automatically opens to the selected sheet view and displays the Views dialog box shown in Figure 12.17.   This dialog box shows a list of views that are not yet placed (the important part) onto any sheet.  Choosing a view and clicking the ADD VIEW to sheet button allows you to place the selected view onto the sheet.  By using this method you can avoid having to search thru the other views that are already placed on sheets.

There you go.  A little explanation from me might help.  I don't name my sections, we never did in autocad, but it didn't matter really due to the non linking nature of autocad.  For Revit, it's probably a smart thing to do, at least a real quick name. "S Wall Porch Section" etc.  That's taking it one step past this tip though.  At least you can eliminate used sections without any work (Boom free money).  It is difficult to discern section 32 from section 14, so at least this will eliminate some choices.

This pretty much sums up my life the last month or so, in a good way though
