How to Create Sheets in Revit

Seven steps in Revit, or one sentence in Mira.

Quick answer

Click View tab › Sheet Composition panel › Sheet and pick a title block. Set its Sheet Number and Sheet Name in Properties, then drag views onto it from the Project Browser. For many at once, add placeholder rows to a sheet list.

Or, just ask Mira, a free add-in, to create sheets from your list, a plan on each.

The manual way

How to do it in Revit

  1. Step 1: Add a sheet

    Click View tab › Sheet Composition panel › Sheet. In the New Sheet dialog, pick a title block, or click Load to bring one in, and click OK (Autodesk Help: Add a Sheet). Choose None for a sheet without a title block.

  2. Step 2: Number and name it

    Revit gives each new sheet a default number and name. Change Sheet Number and Sheet Name in the Properties palette, or right-click the sheet in the Project Browser and choose Rename (F2). Revit warns you if the number is already in use.

  3. Step 3: Place the views

    Drag a view from the Project Browser onto the sheet, or click View tab › Sheet Composition panel › Place View, pick the view and click Add View to Sheet. Click to drop the viewport where it belongs (Autodesk Help: Add Views to a Sheet).

  4. Step 4: Make the sheet index

    Click View tab › Create panel › Schedules › Sheet List and add Sheet Number and Sheet Name as fields. Drag it from the Project Browser onto the cover sheet like any schedule, and it updates as sheets change (Autodesk Help: Create a Sheet List). More in how to create a schedule.

  5. Step 5: Plan the set as placeholder rows

    In the sheet list, click Modify Schedule/Quantities tab › Rows panel › Insert Data Row for each sheet you plan, and type its number and name. These placeholder sheets live only in the list, not in the Project Browser (Autodesk Help: Add Placeholder Sheets to a Sheet List).

  6. Step 6: Create the sheets from the list

    Click View tab › Sheet Composition panel › Sheet again. Under Select placeholder sheets, Ctrl-click the rows you want, pick the title block and click OK. Revit creates every selected sheet at once, already numbered and named.

  7. Step 7: Duplicate a sheet you've set up

    Right-click a sheet in the Project Browser and choose Duplicate Sheet. Duplicate Empty Sheet copies only the title block, Duplicate with Sheet Detailing adds its schedules, legends and annotation, and Duplicate with Views also makes copies of its views.

What to watch for

A view goes on one sheet. Each floor plan, section or elevation can sit on only one sheet, so duplicate the view to show it twice. Legends and schedules, the sheet list included, can go on as many sheets as you like.

Sheet numbers must be unique. Revit warns when a number is taken. Since Revit 2025, Sheet Collections let a number repeat once per collection, which suits separate submissions in one model.

Keep a sheet out of the index. Clear Appears in Sheet List in a sheet's properties to leave it out of every sheet list, as Autodesk suggests for the cover sheet that holds the list.

Line plans up across sheets. A guide grid, or from Revit 2026 a saved position, puts each plan in the same spot on every sheet. See how to align views on sheets.

Swap the title block later. Select the title block on a sheet and pick another in the Type Selector. To build your firm's own, see how to create a title block.

Every project builds its sheet set by hand. A 60-sheet set means 60 numbers, names and title blocks typed one at a time, and each project numbers them a little differently. Autodesk's own advice is to put the standard sheets in the project template, so a new project opens with them already listed. Keeping that template current as part of your firm standards means the next team doesn't start from an empty Sheets list.

Or, just ask Mira to do it.

    Create sheets A-101 to A-106 from this list, with our title block, and place each floor plan on its sheet.

    Mira reads the list you paste with the prompt, asks which title block is yours if more than one is loaded, and checks that each number is free and each plan isn't already on a sheet. It writes a small tool to create the sheets, which asks Allow first, and names any sheet it left empty and why.

Add placeholder rows to a sheet list with Insert Data Row, typing each number and name. Then click Sheet, select the placeholders under Select placeholder sheets and click OK, and Revit creates them all at once.

A sheet index is a sheet list schedule: View tab › Create panel › Schedules › Sheet List. Add Sheet Number and Sheet Name, then drag it onto the cover sheet from the Project Browser. It updates as sheets are added or renamed.

Right-click the sheet in the Project Browser and choose Duplicate Sheet. Pick Duplicate Empty Sheet, Duplicate with Sheet Detailing, or Duplicate with Views, which also asks how to duplicate each view.

Select the sheet and edit Sheet Number in the Properties palette, or right-click it in the Project Browser and choose Rename. Revit updates every reference to that sheet.

Revit allows each view on only one sheet. Duplicate the view and place the copy, or right-click the view in the Project Browser and choose Open Sheet to find where it already is. Legends and schedules are the exception.
