Revit Detailing and Annotation 3

Question 1

Which Revit annotation category automatically updates its value when the referenced element's property changes?

Accepted Answer

Tags

Answer

Tags are linked to element parameters and automatically reflect updated values when the underlying model element's property changes.

Question 2

Revit Keynotes reference a plain-text keynote file (.txt) formatted in the CSI MasterFormat structure to pull keynote descriptions.

Question 4

Which view property controls whether annotation elements such as tags and dimensions are visible in a Revit view?

Accepted Answer

Annotation Categories in Visibility/Graphics

The Annotation Categories tab in Visibility/Graphics Overrides allows you to show or hide specific annotation types like tags, dimensions, and text within a view.

Question 5

What is the main difference between a 'Detail View' and a 'Drafting View' in Revit?
