Numbering and Scheduling of General Drawing Notes

IMCornish — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 12:19:05 GMT

I am getting increasingly confused as I try to tag, with a number, part of a building design. then trying to create a list or schedule where relevant text appears with the corresponding tag number. These notes are descriptive text not related to a Revit component such as a Wall, a Door or a Roof but a general descriptions of what is to be done to an area of the building building or site.

I have created a tag, though it won't work on a 3D drawing, but have been unsucessful in relating the tag number and a text description in a Schedule Block or Legend.

Any advice would be gratefully accepted

You can only really tag and schedule something that exists in the model as a physical item therefore:

You can create a mass that represents something and tag and schedule that

You can place a detail item on a 2D view and tag and schedule those as detail items

You can place an annotation symbol containing parameter values on a 2D view and schedule those as note blocks

However if you can depict all you need to in plan then area plans and scheduling areas seems a better option than tags. I believe you can have any amount of different types of area plans (representing different colour schemes) as you like. i.e. it is common for structures to have one set of area plans depicting imposed load and one depicting permanent load (those items then have different boundary overlaps depending on form of structure and usage in each area).

You can tag in 3D as long as you lock the orientation of the view.

You could also use User Keynotes and Keynote legend.

Whilst it was not shown well, I have managed to produce what I want using following the "Note Block" video in the Revit Help site. See https://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-99ED877E-5262-4CA7-ABC1-F62F6FEB22CC
