Using Levels

 

Overview

Levels are horizontal reference planes used throughout Revit to establish consistent heights within a veryproject.

Rather than measuring heights manually every time you create an elevation or section, the Artcraft templateTemplate willincludes comea series of pre-configured levels that provide a consistent starting point for every project.

Standard Levels Included in the Artcraft Template

The Artcraft Template includes the following reference levels:

Toe-Kick Height

Base Cabinet Height

Countertop Height

Bottom of Upper Cabinets

Hanging Height

Ceiling Height

These levels represent common reference points used during kitchen design and can be adjusted if a project requires different heights.

Modifying Levels

If your project requires custom cabinet heights or unique installation conditions, levels can be modified to suit the project.

To adjust a level:

Open an Elevation view.

Select the level you findwish to modify.

Enter the desired elevation value or drag the level to its new location.

Any changes should be made thoughtfully, as these reference levels are intended to provide consistency throughout the project.

Using Levels During Design

As you design your kitchen, use the levels as visual guides for placing cabinetry.

For example:

Base cabinets should generally align with the Base Cabinet Height level.

Countertops align with the Countertop Height level.

Upper cabinets can be positioned using the Bottom of Upper Cabinets and Hanging Height levels.

Toe-kicks can be checked against the Toe-Kick Height level.

These reference points help create consistent elevations while reducing the need for repeated measurements.

Best Practices

Begin every project using the levels provided in the Artcraft Template.

Modify levels only when the project requires custom installation heights.

Use levels as reference guides rather than manually calculating cabinet heights.

Verify level placement before creating elevations and sections.
