What are the two view options when placing a legend component?

When placing a legend component in Revit, the two view options available are typically Elevation and Floor Plan.

The Elevation view option is significant because it allows the placement of the legend components in a vertical context, which is necessary for creating visual representations of how elements will appear in elevation format. This view is crucial for detailing and documenting aspects of the design that will be vertical, such as facade elements.

Similarly, the Floor Plan view option is essential because it facilitates the placement of legend elements within a horizontal layout, aligning with the typical overview of the building's layout at a specified level. This view allows for a clearer understanding of how the components relate to the floor and the arrangement of elements horizontally in relation to one another.

Both views are specifically designed to assist in accurately representing and documenting the design elements within the project, providing a clear context and orientation for the components being placed in the legend. The choice of view directly impacts how users can interpret and utilize the legend in conjunction with their project plans.
