    Question Reference planes work planes and levels best practice

    New to Revit Structure no analytical need now Just 3d coordination efforts
    I do not want to adjust instance parameters for each piece of beam and bracing I add
    How can I best leverage work planes and references to this end?

    My take is reference levels are dependent on work planes
    Work planes are constrained to model levels
    so...
    level-2 = 20'

    I have columns, beams and bracing to place
    We are doing secondary structure infill , so only linked revit structure model for what to avoid

    I need to place columns at places other than levels created for model IE: top of retaining wall top of non piled footing Do I create level ref plane or use a work plane based on?


    top of steel for beams is 3/16" below that level and offset up with vertical spacing of 6'-8" each (all horiz and perp to each other)
    i would like for this increment to be constrained somehow

    Bracing (kickers) beam to col
    I am guessing that is mostly an instance property? streamlined process tips and tricks would be nice.


    I posted here as I could see where this would apply to architectural when laying out preliminary design concepts


    thanks in advance
