Duplicating Sheets in Revit

If you have an existing set of sheets and you would like to duplicate one of the sheets to add another to the set without having to go through the process of going up to the View Ribbon and creating a new sheet and then applying all of the Parameters again. Revit won’t allow you to duplicate sheets, but there is a quick and easy work around to save you time.

  • Go to the sheet you would like to duplicate in the Project Browser
  • Select all of the Views on the Sheet (this includes the Model views, Drafting Views, Legends and Schedules)
  • Hit the Delete button (don’t freak out, we will undo this later)
  • Right-Click on the sheet name in the Project Browser and choose "Copy to Clipboard"
  • Go to the Quick Access Toolbar and choose "Undo” and select the latest “Delete Selection”, this will bring back the views we deleted before. (notice it does not undo the Copy to Clipboard)
  • Go to the Modify Ribbon and choose "Paste from Clipboard"
  • You now have a new sheet without having to recreate all of those parameters. 
  • Just to be sure go back and check the original sheet to make sure everything is still there
