Difference Between Floor Plan And Structural Plan In Revit

Hello i cannot understand which is the real difference between making a floor plan and making a structural plan.

Difference between floor plan and structural plan in revit.

This video shows you the differences to help you make the right choice. I just made both of them and the settings look pretty much the same in which plan is better to design. This can be extremely useful if you have a large floor plan and you want to make several views which are cropped to specific regions. Revit provides for this variation with the view direction type parameter for structural plans.

On larger projects duplicate as dependent has a lot of uses. You can create multiple structural plan view types and define the view direction parameter differently for each allowing multiple view directions within a project. Starting from a floor plan you create a detail callout and a floor plan callout. P when you create a callout you choose a detail callout or a view callout.

Where the architectural drawings will show a floor plan the structural drawings will have the overall concrete slab plan. The stuff that gets hidden by dry wall floor tile ceiling tile paint etc. The structural details show what holds the building up. An analytical model is a simplified 3d representation of the full engineering description of a structural physical model.

Understanding the difference between the different duplicate views and how they can be used is extremely useful however little used. Once created the callout type cannot be changed.
