With Point Layout for Revit, you can use the Wall Points and Floors/Slabs/Footings tools to mark some
00:09
or all the key wall and floor locations in your project.
00:13
This includes tops, bottoms, intersections, openings, and other key points.
00:21
To mark points on the walls of your open project drawing, from the ribbon, Autodesk Point Layout tab, APL panel, click Wall Points.
00:31
In the Add Points dialog, enter or select the point Start Number, prefix, role, and phase.
00:41
From the Point Description Options, select Type Name to automatically use the wall type in Revit for that description.
00:49
You can also use Custom descriptions, or the Default.
00:53
Then, choose whether you want to mark the top of walls, bottoms, or both.
00:59
This will mark any penetrations or openings in the wall as well.
01:04
Here, the Selection Options are configured to Select All by type, but you can also choose Select Some, and then pick walls manually.
01:12
In terms of horizontal marking on a wall, for concrete, you can mark Finish,
01:18
and for any interior partition walls, you can mark the finish track or the center of the track.
01:24
Here, leave Finish selected, and then click OK.
01:29
From the Select Wall Types dialog, choose Select All to select all walls in the project.
01:35
You also see a list of the descriptions to be used, but these can be changed as needed after the points are placed.

Click OK.
01:45
Zooming into the drawing, you can see that wall points are now added in all of the key locations.

From the Quick Access Toolbar, open the Default 3D View to review the points at intersections, tops, bottoms, and openings.
02:02
The tool also marks where some walls are joined, as well as openings and corners,
02:06
but you can delete any unnecessary points.
02:10
Select any point to review its Properties.
