TABLE OF CONTENTS No set of documents is complete without annotations that add textual or numeric descriptions to the drawings. The need to add dimensions, tags, and text notes to aid in the communicating design intent is still very much a part of the BIM workflow; and Revit is designed to support that workflow with some very intelligent, bidirectional annotation tools.
Topics we'll cover include:
Annotating your project
Understanding and adding tags
Dimensions
Adding text and keynotes
In any set of documents, showing geometry alone isn't sufficient to communicate all the information a builder or fabricator needs to construct the building. Tags, keynotes, text, and dimensions all need to be added to the drawing in order to clearly and concisely guide construction. They assist you in taking your model data and clearly documenting it for others to read and understand.
Starting where you left off, with some views placed on sheets, you'll continue to build out your set of drawings by adding annotations to the views.
| Note | In Revit, annotations, dimensions, and tags are placed in the views themselves, not on the sheet. This might be different from the way you are used to working in AutoCAD, so remember this well. This allows you to annotate a view at any point in the process, before or after views have been placed on a sheet. |
Tags are textual labels for architectural elements such as doors, walls, windows, rooms, and many...
