Hello, welcome to Revit Structure. Let's get started. Now that we've created our first set of Braced Frame sheets, let's move on and finish placing our Moment Frames on sheets as well.
But first, let's take a look at the results of placing our Braced Frames on a sheet. As we stated previously, we changed the title name on the sheet, but not in the project. So BF4 is here, and now you see it's on Sheet S5.2, which we created.
Let's zoom in—ZA—and move on to creating our new sheets for the Moment Frames. Okay, again, let's go to our Project Browser. Let's right-click on Sheets.
Let's go to New Sheet. Again, we get the dialog box with our title. Hit OK.
And here, again, since we didn't leave the project, it came in and gave us our sequential sheet number. Let's go ahead and change the name to Moment Frame Elevations. Very good.

It changed in our drawing sheet and in our Project Browser. Again, as we did in the previous video, let's go ahead and pick our first Moment Frame, MF1. Right-click on it and drag it into the sheet.
And there it is—our viewport. It looks like we'll get two of these views to a sheet, possibly three. I think we can get three in here if we manipulate it properly.
Again, for the title, let's bring it up. Let's go to Properties and change its name—again, Title on Sheet—to Moment Frame.
Very good. There's our Moment Frame Number 1, or MF1 as it's noted on the sheet. Again, we need to go into this sheet and finish tagging elements.
Let's double-click it to activate it, and let's go to Tag. Let's finish this sheet off. You'll notice it gives us the size and name of our element column.
Okay, let's grab these and move them off so they're readable. Very good.
And there you have your Moment Frame. Your beams are outlined and noted—top and bottom—
And your columns are, too. Okay, let's zoom out—ZX.
Okay, let's right-click and Deactivate this and place the rest of our Moment Frames. Again, let's drag it in. Let's line it up.
You see there's the alignment. Very good. Let's bring in our title.
Let’s get the alignment. Let’s change the name again to Moment Frame. Let’s pick here.
And since we had hidden our elevations, let's go back to our Reset Temporary because it will keep that setting until we change it. Reset Temporary. Okay, let’s clean this up a little bit.
Let’s slide these in so everything is readable. Let’s shorten these up. Let’s get out of this view.
Let’s Deactivate it. Very good. Okay, let’s bring the third one in.
Again, the alignment. Let’s move it over a little bit. Clean it up.
Very good. Now we see our wall line is a little wide. What we can do is double-click on it.
Let’s go to Show Crop Region. We can bring our crop region in. Very good.
And clean that view up a little bit. Let’s go ahead and turn that off before we get out of it. Let’s right-click, Deactivate, and bring our name up.
And again, change the name in our Title on Sheet. Very good. Change that to Moment Frame.
And there is Moment Frame Number 3, or MF Number 3. Okay, let’s zoom out. Zoom out.
Very good. We have our first set of Moment Frames. Let’s create one more sheet.
Right-click, New Sheet. Okay. We now have Sheet 5.4 in our Project Browser.
Let’s go to Properties and change that name to Moment Frame Elevations. Very good. Let’s drag our fourth and final frame in.
Very good. That looks neat. Let’s go ahead and bring the name up and change it to Moment Frame.
And see how quickly we've created our frame elevation sheets. Okay. Now you see our project is being fully populated with the information we outlined in our initial video.
Let’s get out of this view and this view. Let’s look at our plan. Now, if we look closely, we see we now have our Braced Frames called out on Sheet S5.2, and our Moment Frames on Sheets S5.3 and S5.4. Very good.
Let’s zoom out. Now we've created those. That's it for this video.
We'll see you in the next one.
