Duplicating Floor Plans to Ceiling Plans
If you need to duplicate a set of Revit floor plans to ceiling plans, use Ideate ViewCreator, one of the tools in the IdeateApps collection. The new ceiling plans will match the floor plans’ crop/scope box and 2d grid conditions, and they will automatically be given logical view names.
Here’s How:
- Launch Ideate ViewCreator
- Select “Duplicate Method”
- If it’s available, select “*DUPLICATE” or “DUPLICATE — Change Family,” a newer rule that aligns the view name with the ceiling type name
- Use “Select Views.” Go to the next page.
- Use “Duplicate to Other Family.” Pick one or more floor plans from one plan type.
- Select “Next.” Pick the ceiling plan type to which you wish to duplicate.
- OPTIONAL: “DUPLICATE — Change Family” is set up to allow a view template override. If desired, set the new ceiling plan views to a specific view template.
- From here, you can edit the proposed new view names, or you can select “Rename Views” and complete the process.
RESULTS: New ceiling plan views matching the original views’ crop and 2d grid settings.
