Hello community,
I wanted to create my interior drawing workflow by selecting rooms→creating elevation views→place them on sheets.
I’ve looked into the rir documentation but couldn’t figured out how to create elevation views in revit. Any ideas?

Hi Ren, There aren’t add Elevation or Add Elevation Marker components in RiR. I’ve added your feature request. CreateElevationMarker Method
There is an Add Viewport Component that you can start with.
For a fully performing workflow there are a lot of variables to consider.

thank you so much. I’ll try it on my side and let you know how it goes!
next comes the need to use the elevation marker with at least one elevation so you can orient to a non-orthogonal room orientation. totally possible in python, have done it in dynamo, let me dig it up.
granted it would need to be revised for Rhino.Inside.Revit use: it should get your closer than not.

c = 0
for e in elev:

Hi Japhy,
I am trying to use your elevation component to generate internal wall elevations in Revit driven by line from Rhino.
Is there already any new component available in Rhino inside Revit to get this automation done or could you make any suggestion how to achieve the following.
- Generating individual elevations (not all 4), direction and alignment controlled by line or plane from Rhino (see attached screenshot)
- Naming them similarly to the “Add Section View” component
- Having component output as list a view for further view parameter assignment
Many thanks
Peter
Hi Peter, Nothing new on the Elevation Marker front.
That shouldn’t be any problem, if you are unfamiliar with how views are created please see this intro.
If there are particular questions please setup a small example.
Hi Japhy,
Can we automatically clip the generated elevations according to the room boundaries? Can we adjust the height of the vertical clipping range based on the room height or a manually input value?
Hi japhy,
Can we generate elevations based on the number of room boundary lines?
Like this L-shaped room, I want to get elevation views for each face separately.
Hi Jack_Ma,
The script above uses the Revit API method .CreateElevationMarker whose constructor takes a xyz location
Creating a section via our native component gives you additional options.
I find your script suitable for me because the native components can only create sections, but I need elevations. This way, corresponding elevation marks can be automatically generated in the plan. Alternatively, do we have any features that can generate elevation marks based on sections within the room?
Hey Community,
I was looking into creating the script for my project, which has 250 or more rooms, and wanted my script to create elevation markers in each room. But, I don’t see an Add Elevation marker component.
Which is listed here in the reference.
