The Revit Architecture Interface

modeling (BIM) will become apparent quickly, as explained later in this chapter. For
example, because Revit knows that walls are walls, you can add identical geometry
to the model by simply selecting an item and telling Revit to create a similar item.
Suppose you want a radial wall of the same exact type as the other walls in the
model. Perform the following steps:
1. Type ZA to zoom the entire screen.
2. Press the Esc key.
3. Select one of the walls in the model — it does not matter which one.
4. Right-click on the wall.
5. Select Create Similar, as shown in Figure 1.29.
NOTE New to Revit 2011, when you right-click on an item, you can
choose to repeat the last command. You can now also select all items that
are only in the current view.
6. On the Modify | Place Wall tab, click the Start-End-Radius Arc but-
ton, as shown in Figure 1.30.
FIGURE 1.29 You can select any item in Revit and create a similar object
by right-clicking and selecting Create Similar.
7. Again with the Options? Yes. Make sure your Location Line is set to
Finish Face: Exterior.
