In this video, Shaun Bryant shows you how to convert the detail text in to Revit text with leaders in the Revit drafting view.
- [Narrator] We're staying in the…OFFICE_Reception Area.rvt file,…and as usual, we're still…in the Detail001 parapet detail.…Now you'll remember we brought…the CAD drawing through by way of import CAD file…into the drafting view.…And we've created the parapet detail from it.…Now the text has come across,…and it's been exploded,…so it is actually Revit text, Revit annotation.…But it's all a bit of a mishmash,…and it all needs tidying up.…Now what we're going to do here…is we're going to tidy up the text first,…and then what we're going to do is…we're gonna start removing the leader lines as well,…cause those leader lines came through…from the import CAD file.…
We want to get rid of those and use…our nice Revit leader lines that come…off of our Revit text.…So, first things first, we select all of the text.…Click and drag like so, that highlights all of the text,…and you'll notice in the properties palette…it says multiple types selected.…Now in this particular CAD Revit project,…we've got various types all using the Arial font.…
