How do you create View Uses in the Project Browser?

Hello, 

 

I'm not new to Revit, but I work at a large architectural practice with a BIM team who sort the Project Browser organisation stuff, so never had a play and am not familiar with how to tailor it now that I'm doing a little project on the side. Not having much luck looking online either - hence this post as a last resort. 

 

I want to add a bit more complexity to the default Project Browser organisation structure. At the mo, area plans just go into an 'Area plans' folder under Views. But, I'd quite like to have WIP area plans and Presentation area plans etc etc. I've managed to add a 'View use' project param' , but am not able to add any 'destinations'. It is greyed out - see image below

 

Can anyone help? (does that all make sense....?)

Its Greyed out becuase you have a View template applied. You either need to set that value in the template, or un-check it in the view template settings to be able to set by view instance.

You have to right click on the view organization. Then you create sorting and grouping. Choose the "View Use" and sort them by family and type. You should see your browser organize it differently.
