Duplicate Floor Plans to Ceiling Plans
If you have a set of Revit floor plans and you’d like to duplicate them to a ceiling plans, you can use Ideate ViewCreator to accomplish this task. The newly created ceiling plans will match the crop/scope box and 2d grid conditions found within the floor plans and will automatically be given logical view names.
- Launch Ideate ViewCreator
- Select the Duplicate Method
- Select the rule called “*DUPLICATE” or “DUPLICATE — Change Family” if it is available. The Change Family is a newer rule and aligns the view name with the ceiling type name.
- Use “Select Views” to go to the next page.
- Use the “Duplicate to Other Family’ option, then pick one or more floor plans from one plan type.
- Select Next, then pick the ceiling plan type to which you wish to duplicate.
- OPTIONAL: the “DUPLICATE — Change Family” is set up to allow a view template override. You can set the new ceiling plan views to a specific view template if desired.
- The proposed new view names can be edited here, or you can select Rename Views and complete the process.
RESULT: New ceiling plan views that match the crop and 2d grid settings of the original views are now created.
