This lesson teaches you how to effectively add legends to sheets in Revit, ensuring they are placed in a consistent location across your drawings. You will learn to manipulate viewports, utilize guide grids, and copy legends to multiple sheets seamlessly.
Key skills covered include snapping legends to specific corners, managing viewports to remove titles, and pasting selected views across different plans for uniformity.

Alright. If you wanna place some sheet notes or any legend on a drawing in a consistent spot, it's actually easier than placing a floor plan. So what we do is we can simply just take the sheet note legend, drag it over to the sheet, and just click it. We are then going to click on this view, and we're gonna change this viewport to none to take away the title. Now I'm going to turn on my guide grid for the upper right, and then I'm going to move this.
Let's go in here, get it close as I can to this corner, and I'm going to snap that right there. Alright. So that is gonna be my consistent location for all of my sheet notes. And then I basically I'm gonna click on this view, going to hit copy to clipboard, and then I'm going to paste the selected views. And then I can paste it to any drawing that I want. So let's just go ahead and paste it to power, and I'm also gonna hold down the control key and click on system, and honestly, I could click on more planes if I wanted to. But you know what? I'm just gonna yeah. Like, let's say I wanted to do that as well. So then I hit okay.
And then if I go through to the systems plan, you see that's placed right there. Same thing with the power plan. And then if I find my fire alarm pan plan, wherever that is, that's also placed as well. So probably shouldn't have done that. Yeah. That's someone else's sheet, so not gonna do that. But you can see how if I go to my systems, my power, and my lighting oh, let me recenter that. My lighting, power, and system plan, everything is exactly where it should be. So that's the difference of placing a floor plan versus a legend.
