View type

Select the view type. Top views such as floor plan, ceiling plan and area plan as well as 3D view are available for selection. You can create sections using the Horizontal working section or Vertical working section functions. Revit also provides the Section and View (Building View) functions on the View tab, Create group.

Template

The view template contains view properties such as visibility settings, scale and level of detail. You can use the view template to set default settings for views and apply them to other views. If a view template with appropriate visibility settings already exists in the project, you can select it here and use it for the new view.
