WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.000 Our electrical cover sheet is looking really good. 00:04.000 --> 00:09.000 Let's go ahead and complete it by adding in some symbols and notes. 00:09.000 --> 00:12.000 Let's start by adding in our lighting symbols. 00:12.000 --> 00:15.000 We find them in our project browser under Legends. 00:15.000 --> 00:18.000 They are called Lighting Types and Symbols. 00:18.000 --> 00:20.000 Double-click to open it up. 00:20.000 --> 00:26.000 Now, the cool thing about this Legends is we have not used regular line work to create our symbols. 00:26.000 --> 00:29.000 Instead, we're pulling from the actual Revit families. 00:29.000 --> 00:32.000 Let's click on one of these lights. 00:32.000 --> 00:35.000 We'll notice that it is a Revit family. 00:35.000 --> 00:39.000 It's a family lighting fixture, plain surface lighting fixture. 00:39.000 --> 00:44.000 It's awesome because what happens if we make a change to this family? 00:44.000 --> 00:48.000 It will automatically update on this symbols legend. 00:48.000 --> 00:51.000 Let's go ahead and complete this symbols legend. 00:51.000 --> 00:56.000 One way is to copy down, copy paste, what's already existing. 00:56.000 --> 00:58.000 But let's say we didn't have any symbols. 00:58.000 --> 01:03.000 What I like to do is find the family from the family browser. 01:03.000 --> 01:08.000 I go to project browser and then find the family's folder. 01:08.000 --> 01:13.000 I'll scroll down and I'm looking for the family that I need. 01:13.000 --> 01:16.000 It's going to be here in lighting fixtures. 01:16.000 --> 01:21.000 I'm looking for a down light rectangular LED. 01:21.000 --> 01:23.000 I'll expand that out. 01:23.000 --> 01:27.000 I've already got the square, so I want the rectangle. 01:27.000 --> 01:31.000 I'll do 25 watt rectangle and I'll drag it over. 01:31.000 --> 01:34.000 There is my rectangle family. 01:34.000 --> 01:35.000 Isn't that cool? 01:35.000 --> 01:36.000 It's a symbol. 01:36.000 --> 01:42.000 I can use the align tool to make sure that everything is aligning up here. 01:42.000 --> 01:44.000 Let's see if I can get this. 01:44.000 --> 01:51.000 If it doesn't want to align, I can simply draw a detailed line and move it into place. 01:51.000 --> 01:55.000 We'll go ahead and do it that way. 01:55.000 --> 01:56.000 There we go. 01:56.000 --> 01:58.000 We've got our two lights. 01:58.000 --> 02:02.000 Now, let's go ahead to our gymnasium pendant light. 02:02.000 --> 02:05.000 This is that new custom family that we created. 02:05.000 --> 02:08.000 We'll also find it in lighting fixtures. 02:08.000 --> 02:10.000 We'll find it under gym light fixture. 02:10.000 --> 02:14.000 We have just one, so we'll drag and drop and place that. 02:14.000 --> 02:17.000 We'll align it center to center with the others. 02:17.000 --> 02:19.000 There's our gymnasium pendant light. 02:19.000 --> 02:22.000 Now we have a wall sconce. 02:22.000 --> 02:26.000 We'll open up something else we need to know about this symbol family. 02:26.000 --> 02:30.000 If we look in our lighting fixtures, we do have a sconce light here. 02:30.000 --> 02:32.000 We'll click the plus side next to it. 02:32.000 --> 02:36.000 Let's grab the 60 watt fixture and drag it in. 02:36.000 --> 02:37.000 And look at my cursor. 02:37.000 --> 02:39.000 It looks like it's placing nothing. 02:39.000 --> 02:44.000 That's because it's taking a plan view and yet we have a wall sconce. 02:44.000 --> 02:47.000 What we want to do is check our view. 02:47.000 --> 02:49.000 Right now, it's set to floor plan. 02:49.000 --> 02:52.000 But we can pick different views from each family. 02:52.000 --> 02:54.000 Let's go ahead and pick elevation front. 02:54.000 --> 03:00.000 And now we have that wall sconce and it shows up no problem in our symbols legend. 03:00.000 --> 03:02.000 Again, we might need to line it up. 03:02.000 --> 03:05.000 I'm just going to drag it over until it lines up center to center. 03:05.000 --> 03:07.000 We need to move it back a little bit. 03:07.000 --> 03:08.000 There we go. 03:08.000 --> 03:10.000 And now we have all of our lighting symbols. 03:10.000 --> 03:11.000 And they're not line work. 03:11.000 --> 03:13.000 They're actual families. 03:13.000 --> 03:14.000 How cool is that? 03:14.000 --> 03:19.000 So let's go back to our electrical cover sheet and add this symbols legend in. 03:19.000 --> 03:22.000 Let's scroll up here to our legends. 03:22.000 --> 03:25.000 And we have our lighting types and symbols. 03:25.000 --> 03:29.000 I'm going to drag and drop and place it on the left side here. 03:29.000 --> 03:31.000 So there it is. 03:31.000 --> 03:33.000 And I want to select it. 03:33.000 --> 03:37.000 I don't need an extra title because it already has its own title built in. 03:37.000 --> 03:42.000 I'm going to click this legend and under its properties window. 03:42.000 --> 03:44.000 I'm going to select no title. 03:44.000 --> 03:46.000 That looks really good. 03:46.000 --> 03:47.000 Okay, that was a ton of fun. 03:47.000 --> 03:50.000 So let's add in some more symbols right here. 03:50.000 --> 03:54.000 And the symbols I want to add now are my power symbols. 03:54.000 --> 03:58.000 So again, under legends, power symbols, double click. 03:58.000 --> 04:00.000 And here it is. 04:00.000 --> 04:03.000 I've done on this one basically the same thing. 04:03.000 --> 04:07.000 You can see that each of these symbols is actually a revot family. 04:08.000 --> 04:12.000 And in fact, we can even change the view from what it is. 04:12.000 --> 04:17.000 We can actually see the little box or go back to the plan view and get that symbol. 04:17.000 --> 04:19.000 So these are real revot families. 04:19.000 --> 04:24.000 And the one that's missing is our duplex receptacle GFCI. 04:24.000 --> 04:28.000 So I need to go to my family's browser, which is project browser. 04:28.000 --> 04:31.000 And then scroll all the way down to families. 04:31.000 --> 04:37.000 And I want electrical pictures. 04:37.000 --> 04:40.000 And then we have duplex receptacle. 04:40.000 --> 04:41.000 Open that one up. 04:41.000 --> 04:43.000 And I have GFCI. 04:43.000 --> 04:45.000 That's the one I want. 04:45.000 --> 04:47.000 I'll drag it into here. 04:47.000 --> 04:50.000 And I'll notice that it's kind of weird when it brings it in. 04:50.000 --> 04:52.000 It brings it in as a symbol. 04:52.000 --> 04:54.000 And we also see the little box. 04:54.000 --> 04:56.000 So I'll just place it right here for now. 04:56.000 --> 04:58.000 And click. 04:58.000 --> 05:00.000 It lines up with the others. 05:00.000 --> 05:02.000 And it looks really good. 05:02.000 --> 05:07.000 I'm actually hiding that little box behind this wall here. 05:07.000 --> 05:08.000 And what is my wall? 05:08.000 --> 05:11.000 It's just a detailed boundary item. 05:11.000 --> 05:15.000 And so it's a tricky little way to hide that box, but show the symbol. 05:15.000 --> 05:16.000 All right. 05:16.000 --> 05:17.000 So that looks really good. 05:17.000 --> 05:18.000 We've got the power symbols. 05:18.000 --> 05:19.000 They're all families. 05:19.000 --> 05:20.000 All listed out. 05:20.000 --> 05:22.000 Let's go back to our cover sheet. 05:22.000 --> 05:26.000 And I want to drag that symbol legend right in. 05:26.000 --> 05:28.000 Minimize my families. 05:28.000 --> 05:32.000 Scroll up to find my legends category. 05:32.000 --> 05:34.000 And I want my power symbols. 05:34.000 --> 05:36.000 Drag and drop. 05:36.000 --> 05:38.000 Place that in there. 05:38.000 --> 05:41.000 And I'll notice that I need to get rid of that extra title. 05:41.000 --> 05:43.000 So I'll switch it to no title. 05:43.000 --> 05:48.000 And I can line these up a little bit better so that the two titles are an alignment. 05:48.000 --> 05:51.000 One trick I do is to overlap them exactly. 05:51.000 --> 05:55.000 Then I can line them up almost perfectly. 05:55.000 --> 06:00.000 Maybe the closer in I zoom, the easier it is to line these up. 06:00.000 --> 06:02.000 Maybe one more time. 06:02.000 --> 06:03.000 There we go. 06:03.000 --> 06:04.000 Pretty close. 06:04.000 --> 06:11.000 And now all I have to do is move it over and move it in a straight line so that they stay in alignment with each other. 06:11.000 --> 06:12.000 Okay. 06:12.000 --> 06:15.000 Let's go ahead and add some notes in here. 06:15.000 --> 06:19.000 So we have in our legends, we have general notes electrical. 06:19.000 --> 06:20.000 Drag and drop that in. 06:20.000 --> 06:23.000 We've got our general electrical notes. 06:23.000 --> 06:25.000 We'll have to follow that same process. 06:25.000 --> 06:27.000 We'll select it. 06:27.000 --> 06:29.000 Remove its title. 06:29.000 --> 06:32.000 Line it up with the one next to it. 06:32.000 --> 06:33.000 Zoom in nice and close. 06:33.000 --> 06:35.000 Line it up. 06:35.000 --> 06:37.000 Pretty close as usually okay. 06:37.000 --> 06:41.000 And then we can move it in a straight line to the right. 06:41.000 --> 06:44.000 And it will stay in alignment. 06:44.000 --> 06:52.000 I might zoom out and adjust these over just a little bit to kind of give them the room they need and make them look spaced evenly. 06:52.000 --> 06:56.000 Once I'm happy with that, we are really close to wrapping up this cover sheet. 06:56.000 --> 06:59.000 I simply need to change my subtitle. 06:59.000 --> 07:02.000 So the main title elementary school electrical that looks good. 07:02.000 --> 07:05.000 The subtitle now we're on to the final. 07:05.000 --> 07:07.000 So it's going to be final. 07:07.000 --> 07:10.000 And then our first name and our last name. 07:10.000 --> 07:11.000 And that's it. 07:11.000 --> 07:14.000 We've got our Revit electrical cover sheet.
