A Model View allows you to visualize any Revit Category or Layer Category within the context of a 3D model, sheet, or view. This type of view combines model geometry and project data, enabling users to review and interact with information directly in spatial context.

Model Views work similarly to Drawing views in Layer. The difference is that instead of displaying data on a linked PDF, the data is displayed within the context of a Revit Model.
