- There has been some confusion in understanding the differences in duplicating views in Revit. What's a dependent-view and why would I use that? What does detailing mean? Here is a quick video on the three options for duplicating views in Revit. If you have any questions or would like to see any other content. Please drop a comment and don't forget to subscribe!

Thank you! So using the first two options I will be able to make changes to the floor plan without affecting the original? This is a renovation project and I want to maintain the existing conditions.
Heather, that isn't really best practices. If you are going to be doing a renovation I would suggest utilizing phasing and phase filters. Feel free to reach out on our website we would be happy to connect.
I'm trying to rotate my plans to fit into the sheet and clean it up for printing so I thought to duplicate the view and ness with the one I want to print.
The problem now is that when I delete a window or some other element, it deletes on the original as well. Is there a way to fix this?
Hello! How are you trying to rotate it on the sheet? By rotating a scope box/crop region or with a drop down?
@bimtechmngt I was rotating the entire floor plan. I tried rotating just the crop box in the sheet but that rotated the annotations and the grid letters as well.
@@kahidris Did you try rotating with a drop down?
@@bimtechmngt I'm not sure what that is... I rotated with the RO command though.
i already duplicate view WITHOUT dependency, then i tried to deleted floor slab on duplicated view but it also deleted on original view ? any solution for this ? should i remodell the floor to not cut the beam ?
Hello there! All modeled elements (floors, walls, windows, conduit, pipe, equipment, etc.) are a part of the model and are visible in all views (with some exceptions for example: view range, visibility of model category). If a modeled element is deleted, it is deleted from the project and all views where it would be visible.
Analogy - If you have a camera in your living room, all of your furniture is the modeled elements. You create another view (Duplicate, Duplicate with Detailing, or Duplicate as Dependent) this essentially will add another camera. Now, if you remove (delete) the couch, the couch is gone from both cameras.
What do you mean about cutting the beam?
@@bimtechmngt Im sorry, but it happen only on floor. If i try to delete like the other element for example the Beam or Column, it just removed from the duplicated view, but remains intact in the original view.
@@bimtechmngt Well you know, when floor intersect the beam, it will cut it off the section depend where i put the floor
@@myonice.3097 I am not sure I am following you here, I apologize.
Is there a way to change to be independent from the parent view? If yes, what does it do to the views?
The easiest way would be to duplicate with detailing the child view.
What if I delete something on the original? Will it reflect too on the duplicate and duplicate with detailing?
Define "something" modeled elements yes, annotation elements no.
So if you draw in the children view View specific element they wont show up in the Parent view?
Anything you draw in the children view will show up in the parent view.
What if I delete something on the original? Will it show up on the duplicate and duplicate with detailing?
