Duplicate Section Callout

[BradleyOlsen4775]

I am working on a foundation plan that I would like to place the same section callout at different location long the foundation walls. 

Is there a way to duplicate the same section callout? 

Thanks.

In the oiptions bar you should see reference other view - in the pull-down you should see the other views and you can select the one you want. The callout should be marked with a SIM when it is referencing another view.

You are welcome! Anytime i train anyone on Revit - I tell them as soon as you start a command tat is the first place to look.

Hello

thank you for the advice on Referencing other views, however When I select the  Callout the Reference other view appears but is greyed out. I have tried to access it throught the sheet the callout is placed on, the sheet that the callout is made and the callout itself with always the same result, greyed out. What have I missed?

Thanks

Joe

The option is only available when creating/placing a mark. Make your first section in the usual way. Then make the additional sections, chicking the Reference Other View option prior to placing them.

I would like to call out the same detail in two different viewports, Revit doesn't seam to want to allow me to do that, the view I want to refer with the new callout is not present in the list bellow "Reference Other View". Is there a reason? Is there a solution?
Thanks!

Hello Chris 

Before placing the call out. Select Callout then at the top select "reference other views" this will create a copy of your callout which can be used multiple times, the callout should be labeled with the sim acronym.

Thank you, but as I ask in my question, this doesn't work when trying from another viewport, the view is not listed in the dropdown menu. For example, let's say I want to refer two different parts with the same detail, one appears in a plan view, the other in a section, I can make a callout of the part in the plan viewport, but when comes the time to use "Reference Other View" in the section viewport, I cannot point to the existing view of this part.
See screen capture; "CALLOUT EXAMPLE" has been created on the plan viewport on the left and when I try to create a callout that refer it, it is not listed in the dropdown menu (even scrolling, please don't answer "try scrolling down")
I hope I am more clear
Thank you!

So you want a plan callout to reference a section detail?  Reference other view doesn't work that way, it can only refer to a view of the same view orientation or a drafting view.

If you want a list of EVERY view to choose from, use View Reference to place the callout bubble.
