An Alternative Browser Organization

A well set up browser organization will save you many hours of work. Rather than searching through hundreds of views, we are able to categorize those views according to either our own, or the project's standards.

There is however an alternative to using Revit's default browser organization: View Types. As can be seen from the image below, the default browser organization lists all Views according to their View Types: Floor Plans, Ceiling Plans and Elevations.

When we edit a view's type properties, we can Duplicate the type of view. We can create any view type we require, as the type property is a text field.

Below is a quick example of a browser organisation that has been edited to include floor plans for both Working Drawings, as well as Council Submission drawings.
