Final Sheet Setup and Check Plot
BIM Suite · ProjX New Model Setup · 8m
This lesson focuses on preparing the final sheets for a check plot in your Revit project. You'll learn how to ensure all sheets are ready for export, including addressing common template errors and managing view templates for annotations.
Specific skills covered include syncing with the central model before printing, exporting PDFs with the correct settings, and troubleshooting room tag visibility issues. By the end, you'll have a clear process for setting up your project for review.

Alright. Now I'm just going to do the same to the rest of the sheets, get them all ready, and send off a check plot. This is gonna be a pretty boring video. Happy to watch. You're welcome to watch if you like. Otherwise, I'll see you on the other side when we actually get started doing some cool stuff. Don't have a site plan for now. Might wind up deleting those, but we'll just leave them in for now.
I don't know if we're gonna use systems on this, but got it just in case. Also, I don't know if we're gonna need fire protection on this.
I noticed this. So you'll find this from time to time, a little error in the template. So the room tags are not grayscale. So this is a fun little learning opportunity. We'll get this fixed in the template, so you shouldn't see this. But the way to fix it would be to go in, go to the view template, go to the VG Override annotation. And where it says room tags, that should be half toned. There we go. This is good. Yeah.
This is good. So that was fire protection. Avalanche cleanup. Yep. Fine. Okay. Plumbing. What have we got? This was oh, yeah. So this is if you want an overall view.
I think we're not going to do that for this floor plan because it's not for this project, rather. So we're just going to go with this. So we're doing something oh, 101 d. Oh, did I already set that up? No. I'm just not in that sheet yet. I got confused. Here we go. All right. Let's get this set.
Alright. There we go. So we can now sync central. I would like to sync with central before I print. I it might just be I have to do a bit of work like that. You should always print, but I've I've had crashes years ago when exporting and making PDFs. That's just a superstition of mine, perhaps. Alright. Export PDF, and we can do MEP publish set, everything. G index.
I didn't look at that, so I'm not going to include it. Site plan, we weren't doing site plans. Don't need that. I don't know why that was checked. Yeah.
We we don't have these set up yet. I'm just gonna leave them there. Well, now I'll take them off because we don't need them in the check plot. Don't really need those either. Everything else is probably fine for an initial check log. Take that. Okay. Select no zoom high projects MEP check plot. All right. And we'll export.
That is the whole full set MEP. We'll give it a quick look through, make sure it's good, and then that concludes our setup, of this project. And we will be able to move on to rocking and rolling on fun stuff production, getting into the warehouses, bringing in families, distribution, etcetera. Let's check it out. Looking good.
Look at all those. Just right in the exact same spot. Little error there. I forgot to tidy up that one there off the sheet, so I'll go and fix that. But other than that, it all looks pretty good. Okay. Besides me fixing this, done with setting up the check plot for project x.
