In this video, Shaun Bryant explains how you can tidy up the drafting detail to make it a full Revit drafting view.
- [Instructor] As usual, we're staying…in the OFFICE_Reception Area.rvt file…and we're in the drafting view,…DETAIL 001, our parapet detail.…Now, you'll notice I have tweaked…a number of things in our parapet detail.…What I've done is I've changed the arrowheads…and finished them off.…They're now all Revit text with arrowheads.…So if I select that, you can see, look,…it's Revit text with an arrowhead.…If I select another one, Revit text with an arrowhead.…And I've just tidied things up a little bit…by way of making the arrowheads…these little, filled-arrow arrowheads,…if you get my drift.…
Now all of these can be set up…by way of the Properties palette.…So if I select that there, like so,…and then go in here to edit the type.…So there's my 2.5mm Arial text,…I edit the type, and I've changed it…to an arrow-filled 15 degrees there,…and OK'd it.…And it's updated all of the arrowheads…to that filled arrowhead instead.…Now I'm just gonna hit Esc there…to deselect the text.…Now there are other things that you…might want to change and improve…
