What type of view do you need to be in to add a level to your project?

  1. Floor plan view

  2. Section view or elevation view

  3. 3D view

  4. Detail view

The correct answer is: Section view or elevation view

To add a level to your project in Revit, you need to be in a section view or an elevation view. This is because levels are fundamentally used to define the vertical heights within the building model, and section or elevation views provide a clear representation of these vertical elements. In these views, you can see the relationship of levels with respect to other building components such as floors and ceilings. Additionally, levels are used as reference planes to indicate floor heights throughout the project, which is best visualized in a vertical orientation. While a floor plan view shows horizontal layouts, it does not provide the necessary context for placing levels accurately. Similarly, a 3D view, although useful for understanding spatial relationships, does not allow for the precise placement and definition of levels. Finally, a detail view is tailored for more specific components or assemblies within a project and is not intended for modifying the vertical layout of the entire structure. Thus, section or elevation views are crucial for the proper placement of levels in Revit.
