This step-by-step guide provides comprehensive instructions on how to save and print your work in Revit for fire protection designs. The guide discusses in detail the processes of setting up the printer, combining files, adjusting paper placement, hiding reference work planes, selecting views or sheets, and saving the project.
Key Insights:
- The guide emphasizes the importance of selecting the correct settings when preparing to print your work in Revit, including choosing the correct printer, setting the orientation to landscape, and ensuring the paper size matches the dimensions of your plan.
- When saving your work, the guide suggests combining all sheets into one file for ease of access and organization. It also recommends creating a specific file name to ensure your work is easily identifiable.
- Checking every sheet one last time before finalizing the work is advised. If any errors are found, it is recommended to go back to the Revit file and make necessary adjustments.

All right everyone, congratulations first of all you made it to the final video. It has been quite a journey and as you can see fire protection in Revit does require a lot of detail with pipes and sprinklers and setting up your sheets but it's part of the process and part of the industry and here we are finally at the end. So before we print the pdf let's go on ahead and save.
All right so let's go to file, print. Okay so for your printer go on ahead if you don't have it selected choose the bull zip pdf printer and let's go on ahead and go to properties. Make sure your orientation is set to landscape and then we'll go to advanced and your paper size if it's currently set to letter or something different make sure you choose arch e1 which is the size of the sheet that we brought in and set up all of our plan sheets on.
Okay go on ahead and click okay. Next let's make everything combined into one file since we have seven sheets we don't want seven separate pdfs. We'll combine everything to one file and let's go to click browse and go on ahead and choose where you are saving your work for the course.
You could put it in your BIM 324 file downloads have a separate file. I created a BIM 324 coursework file. Okay now let's name this to BIM 324 dash final dash your name.
Okay once we have that done let's go to setup under our options and please make sure your paper placement is set to center and the zoom is set to zoom 100 percent. Okay and we don't need it necessarily for this project but you do want to make sure that this is selected hide reference work planes or also hide unreferenced view tags just in case we have those on another set of plans or project you might be working on in the future.
