    Default Coordinate sheets with Architect?

    I have been asked by management to create sheets (electrical, power, ...) that match the Architects.

    In AutoCAD I can do this without thinking, but is there a way to do it in Revit? I know I can export out views one at a time and then inport it into the project. This just seems to clunky and prone to errors (mine or someone elses).

    Am I looking for Revit MEP to do more than it was made for?

    Thanks for any help.

    Yes it can be done. First off, ask the Arch. to use Scope Boxes to constrain/define the extents of his views (it can be found under the extents category for the view properties). Then you can copy and past those scope boxes into your model. Then constrain your views the the same scope boxes. Lastly if you really want the light table effect, can have them draw detail lines on the title block that you can use to snap your views to on the sheet (you have to use the move command to get the snaps for view in paper space). and tada, you have coordinated your sheets with the Arch. Let me know if you need more details.

    Thanks for the advice. You would think that there would be some vehicle to just copy sheets, either from the Architectural file or just export\inport them.
    I guess I have gotten spoiled working with AutoCAD for so long.
