Leader Arrowhead

Leader Arrowhead

Good day all.

I see in other plans, a leader arrowhead which is quite long and might even depict "Handrawn"

I think it would be very suitable to show joist direction od floor plans.

I don't find it in Revit and/or any other place.

Does anyone know what I am talking about and can help me find?
Thanks!

When you say 'in other plans'... so, not in other Revit plans? Revit doesn't allow custom leader/arrow heads, so this would probably need to be a custom annotation symbol. even then, a hand drawn look would not be easy to recreate. Do you have an image of this arrow?

Why not share a snapshot of the OTHER plans you are looking at? Slab/Floor Span or Joist direction symbol is a family you can simply edit and modify the Arrows to whichever shape or length you desire...nothing to do with Leader Heads

Are you talking about Structural Beam System Tag?

It's kind of hard to know when you don't provide an example.

 

But, as others have already stated. Revit doesn't allow custom arrowhead shapes. You can adjust the size of the provided ones but not create new shapes.

Maybe something like this.

I do understand there are only a few examples of arrows in Revit and it is difficult to add in something.

I have resolved to the 15degree filled and am happy enough.

Thank you all!

You can have that exact arrowhead or any shape and size you want for beam system or span direction tag.
