Revit 2018 - section callout heads missing?

The callout heads seem to be missing from Revit 2018? Fresh install.

Are you sure they're missing, or just not defined under the "Symbol" parameter in the Level Type Properties?

Good question. When I go to edit - type the symbol seems to be missing?

Choose one from the drop-down list. You see one. No?

The drop down is empty...

odd. So you have none in Project Browser. Wonder what else you're missing? Maybe @Viveka_CD can assist here?

Yea, that's a great question. This is a fresh install but our office doesn't typically use Revit. I'm helping with the transition. I'm sure I can always download a section family and add it but I'd like to work out from the system files...

Hi @sascari

 

You have to load a Callout Head type.

 

After loading, Please go to your Manage tab, Additional Settings, Callout Tags. Let me know if this helps.

You can also create a callout head family

How do you load a callout head type? Is it not included with the default install?

Doesn't sound like you can, if you don't have the library. Could be there, but just pathed wrong during your install of 2018. 

 

But if you can find the library, you'd just load it into project like any other family. Still, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to a clean uninstall/reinstall.

Since they are missing, looks like i'll have to track down annotation system families and redownload?

I don't think those are call-out heads in your photo. I think that's a Level. So, you would be missing a type of Level Head.

You're right. It's both though. I meant to upload a different screenshot (see attached for section line).

Hi @sascari

 

Yes, you have to download and install, since they are missing from your annotations folder. 

 

Annotations are loadable families are created in external RFA files and imported (loaded) in your projects.

The below links represent the Family Templates, Project Templates and Family Libraries provided within the Revit 2018 product installation for all supported languages and locales.

To apply the content files:

  • Download the desired content executable to a local location
  • Launch the content executable from the saved local location
  • Specify the desired content location (Default destination folder “C:\Program Data\Autodesk\RVT 2018”) and choose Extract.

RVT2018_1_ENU_Imperial_FamTemplates_Templates (exe - 91MB)

RVT2018_1_ENU_Metric_FamTemplates_Templates.exe (exe - 110MB)

RVT2018_1_USA_Imperial_Libraries.exe (exe - 0.99MB) United States Imperial

RVT2018_1_USA_Metric_Libraries.exe (exe - 921MB) United States Metric

 

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Viveka,

 

the callout head shows up now. Do I have to load the family in each project?
