What is an 'Elevation View' in Revit?

An 'Elevation View' in Revit is indeed a vertical representation that displays the relationships among various elements of a building as they relate to the height and design of its facade. This view allows architects and designers to portray the exterior surfaces of the building, including windows, doors, and architectural detailing, from a straight-on perspective. Elevation views are essential for understanding how the various levels of a building relate to each other vertically and how they interact with different exterior elements.

In contrast, the other options describe different types of representations in Revit. A 3D model representation refers to a comprehensive view that combines all dimensions of the building, allowing for a deeper spatial understanding but does not focus on the vertical relationships as directly as an elevation view does. A floor plan view, on the other hand, presents a top-down view, focusing on layout and spatial relationships on a horizontal plane rather than vertical presentation. Lastly, a section view provides a cut-through of the building, emphasizing structural elements and interior relationships, which is quite distinct from the pure vertical portrayal characteristic of elevation views. Thus, the unique focus of the elevation on the vertical orientation of elements makes option B the correct choice.
