Did you know can specify the view that Revit displays by default when you open your Revit Project/Model?
The default setting for a starting view is ‘Last Viewed’, that is, whichever view was active the last time the model was closed.
When you open or start a project, you can set the opening view to be a 3D, Plan or Elevation; by simply Going to the Manage Tab-Manage Project Panel and select Starting View (see below).
When a model is workshared and synchronised with the central model, the specified starting view is applied to all local models. This view is opened when the central or any local model is opened, and when any team member uses the Open dialog to detach from the central or create a local model.
Benefits of starting views:
- You can reduce the amount of time required to open a model by choosing a simple view as the starting view.
- You might create a special view that contains important project information and notices that you want to share with team members. Use this view as the starting view so that team members always see this information when they open the project.
