The CAD Sheets tab displays sheets created in the authoring tool and includes Markup tools.

CAD Sheet Tab

For a CAD Sheet to display under Packages > Viewer > CAD Sheet, the package name should be contained within the sheet name, allowing for extensions like ' - Sheet'.  The 2D sheets must be included in the active publish set specified in Revit.

Create CAD Sheet

The CAD Sheet tab displays sheets created in the authoring tool. Once in STRATUS, tools can be used to Markup the sheet.

AutoCAD

To display an AutoCAD spool drawing:

1. Under Admin > Company > Settings > check the Publish Spool Drawings checkbox and Save.

2. In AutoCAD, after a drawing is published, the associated spool drawings from AutoCAD will display in the sheet tab. 

Revit

There are 2 ways for a CAD Sheet to display in a Package. In either case, CAD Sheets in STRATUS are created from Sheets selected in the Revit Publish Settings.

Method 1 - Create Package in STRATUS and Rename Sheet in Revit

1. In STRATUS, create a Package (Ex. Duct Sections and with the Incrementor XXX the name will be Duct Sections001).

   

   
   

2. In Revit, create or rename a Sheet with the same name (Ex. Duct Sections001).

3. In Revit, re-publish the model with the Sheet(s) selected in Revit Publish Settings.

4. In STRATUS, go to the Packages > Viewer. If the CAD Sheet tab did not previously exist for the package, it does now.

   

   
   

5. CAD Sheet Markup tools display. Markup is also available in the Assemblies Viewer.

   

   
   

Method 2 - Create Revit Sheet and Create Package with the Same Name

1. In Revit, publish or re-publish the model with the Sheet(s) selected in Revit Publish Settings (Ex. North Level 1 - Lighting Plan).

   

     

2. In STRATUS Models > Viewer, create a new package whose name matches one of the sheets in Revit Publish Settings (Ex. North Level 1 - Lighting Plan).

   1. Alternatively, on the Packages > Dashboard, the Import CSV option can be used to import packages whose names match one or more Revit Sheet names.

      

      
      

3. In STRATUS, go to the Packages > Viewer. The CAD Sheet tab will display with the Revit Sheet displayed.

   

     

4. CAD Sheet Markup tools display. Markup is also available in the Assemblies Viewer.

   

CAD Sheet Markup

The CAD Sheet tab displays sheets created in the authoring tool. Once in STRATUS, tools can be used to Markup the sheet. Since the CAD Sheet tab is available on the Assemblies > Viewer and the Packages > Viewer, the information is consolidated in the Markup for PDF Assembly Attachments, PDF Package Attachments, and CAD Sheet article.
