The BIM technology is the hot spot in construction industry today. Revit, as a main software in BIM, should be applied from early the design stage to achieve the "forward design". One challenge in the application is that the shop drawings should be created directly by using Revit to meet the requirements of relative standard after the completion of 3D BIM modeling. This paper compares the drawing function of Revit with that of CAD, and further discusses the difference. Advantages of Revit in shop drawing are concluded. This paper puts forward solutions to solve the difficulties in creating shop drawings including drawing broken lines, processing of redundant projection lines, and modifying axis number headers. The standard flow chart is also proposed considering the characteristics of Revit in creating drawings.
