Which view in Revit is used to create a floor plan?

The floor plan view in Revit is specifically designed for creating and working with floor plans of a building. This view presents a horizontal slice of the model, typically at a height that allows users to see the layout of walls, doors, windows, and other elements on each level of the building. It enables users to detail the design, including dimensions, annotations, and the placement of various components, making it an essential view for architects and designers during the design and documentation processes.

In contrast, other views serve different purposes. A section view provides a cut-through representation of a building, illustrating the internal relationships and vertical dimensions, but it does not display the layout of the space in the same way a floor plan does. Elevation view shows the exterior of the building from various perspectives, focusing on the vertical aspects of design rather than the horizontal layout. A 3D view represents the model in three dimensions, allowing for visualization of the entire structure but lacking the detailed specificity required for developing floor planning details.
