How can I make a sheet that contains a detail of every wall type in the project?

Hi, my boss has asked me to generate a sheet with a detail of each of the 7 types of wall there are in the project. Now, it's not a detail from the existing plans what I need, but to "model" (draw) a piece of each wall and list the composition as references (like on a map when you see the diferent kinds of colours and lines and what each one means)

How can I do this? Is there a way to model this pieces of wall in a different "space" in the project?

you can do this in a Legend with Legend components - Annotate Tab > Detail Panel > Component Drop down > Legend Component

The only issue here is that you have to manually label them.

 

I have seen several other ways, create them in the model (real object not Legend Components) use tags to label and then save as an image and drop into a Legend

or

Create them in as above in a View and set them to a Phase that is not used so never shown but this is a bit more complex

Check out this recent discussion/thread:

It describes a few approaches you could use.  I think it'll help you a lot.
