In this video, Shaun Bryant explains how you can use Revit annotation text to your advantage.
- [Narrator] We're starting a new chapter now…and we're going to start looking at annotation…in our Revit projects.…Now the benefit of annotation in Revit…is one, it's really easy to use…and two, it's really easy to edit the family types…of the annotation to match the standards…of the AutoCAD standards we may have.…So what we've got is a new Revit project for you to open.…Now, you'll recognize it;…it's OFFICE_Reception Area.rvt.…
You can see the name of it there…at the top of the screen in the title bar.…So make sure that you open that particular Revit file…from the library downloads that…you may have downloaded already.…But make sure that you use this particular project.…OFFICE_Reception Area.rvt for the…annotation chapter of the course.…Now, I'm in the DETAIL 001 - Parapet Detail.…You'll remember that from previous…chapters in the course as well.…And you can see it's all looking nice and neat and tidy.…
It's all Revit objects now, so you've got…Revit leader lines, you've got Revit annotation text…you've got some wide lines on the brickwork…
