FIGURE 1.16 By selecting Finish Face: Exterior, you know the wall will be dimensioned
from the outside finish.
FIGURE 1.17 You can draw any shape you need.
The View Window
To put it simply, “the big white area where the objects go” is the view window. As
a result of your actions, this area will become populated with your model. Notice
the background is white — this is because the sheets you plot on are white. In
Revit, what you see is what you get … literally. In Revit, you aren’t counting on
color #5, which is blue, for example, to be a specifi c line width when you plot.
You can immediately see the thickness that all your “lines” will be before you
plot (see Figure 1.18). What a novel idea.
