Got it? The family is a Generic Annotation, the tool is Symbol and the schedule is Note Block. (View tab > Create panel > Schedules drop down > Note Block). To schedule the values you input in the fields, create a Note Block schedule.(Annotate tab > Symbol panel > Symbol tool). To place a Generic Annotation family in your project, use the Symbol tool.(Application menu>New>Annotation Symbol). To create a new Generic Annotation family, use the Generic Annotation.rte family template.There are some unfortunate terminology hurdles to overcome when using them however: However, smart or not, they have their uses and in some cases can be just what you need in your documentation efforts. For the BIM purists, Generic Annotations are NOT very “smart.” This is because the data is not being reported from the model like a normal tag, rather the data lives in the fields of the Generic Annotation object itself. The nice thing about these is that the text fields can receive basically any input you like and you can even schedule all the values in a “Note Block” schedule. In other words, it is a simple symbol with user editable text field(s). For the AutoCAD users, a Generic Annotation Symbol in Revit is basically a block with attributes from AutoCAD. While very intrigued, I have not come up with a really practical use of this yet.įor those of you not familiar, let me take a few moments to explain Generic Annotations. (video: 1:01 min.)Navigate with a new canvas* The geometry is more flexible:Use advanced drawing tools to more easily create and edit geometry.I have been working on a Revit implementation and just discovered by accident that you can include dimension parameters that behave like reporting parameters in the labels of Generic Annotations. (video: 0:34 min.)** New navigation tools:Navigate with a new drawing canvas:Display a new canvas, based on a size and shape, which allows you to display a variety of drawing views. Use the Select tool to include annotations in a new view. (video: 0:36 min.)Add drawing history to an annotation:Edit drawing history on an annotation:Organize, edit, and annotate in different views. You can quickly and easily explore design alternatives, and see the effect of changes on your drawings right away.Create parametric drawings directly in the drawing area** New ways to create annotations:Share your annotation history easily:Use the New Annotation dialog to import, edit, and share annotations, or link to external annotation files.Share your annotation history easil圜reate a new annotation from a completed element.
