Learning Objectives • Create a callout view using the Callout tool. • Create project details using Detail Lines and Detail Component tools. • Create a drafting detail using the Drafting View tool. • Add text notes to the project detail using the Text tool. • Add 3D text to a building model using the Model Text tool. • Add revision cloud and revision tag to a project detail. • Create project schedules using the Schedule/Quantities tool.

PROJECT DETAILING IN Autodesk Revit Architecture Two basic methods of creating details are Using the building model Creating a drafted detail CREATING DETAILS USING THE BUILDING MODEL Uses an enlarged portion of a building model view to create the project detailing Callout view can be created by using plan, section, elevation, or detail view as its parent view.

Tutorial 1 In this tutorial, you will create a callout view of the kitchen door jamb in the Apartment 1 project by creating a callout view, represented by a highlighted rectangle with a cursor, as shown in Figure 32. Figure 32 Sketch plan for adding a callout view to the Apartment 1 project plan

The following steps are required to complete this tutorial: Open the specified project file and then create the callout view using the Callout tool, refer to Figure 33. Figure 33 Sketch plan for adding detail components, detail lines, and text notes to the callout view of the Apartment 1 project

Display the view and set its parameters, refer to Figure 34. Figure 34 Specifying the rectangle to create a callout view

Use the callout view as an underlay and add detail components using the Detail Component tool, refer to Figures 35 through 37. Figure 35 Callout view displayed in the viewing area

Figure 36 Adding the door frame as a detail component Figure 37 Adding the wood board as a detail component

Add detail lines to the callout view using the Detail Lines tool, refer to Figures 38 through 40. Figure 38 Adding the modified wood board as a detail component

Figure 39 Adding detail lines to the callout view Figure 40 Adding medium detail lines to the detail

Use the Insulation tool to add insulation to the detail, refer to Figures 41 and 42. Figure 41 Sketching the insulation Figure 42 Adding the insulations in the detail

Invoke the Text tool and add the text notes after setting its parameters, refer to Figures 43 through 45. Figure 43 Specifying three points for creating the text note with two segment leaders Figure 44 Writing the text of the text note

Figure 45 Text added to the callout detail Add the break lines to complete the detail callout view.

Tutorial 2 Create the door, room, and wall schedule for the Apartment 1 project, based on the schedule given in Figures 46 through 48. Figure 47 Room schedule for the Apartment 1 project Figure 46 Door schedule for the Apartment 1 project Figure 48 Wall schedule for the Apartment 1 project

The following steps are required to complete this tutorial: Open the project file and then invoke the Schedule/Quantities tool. Set the schedule properties for creating a door schedule using the Schedule Properties dialog box, based on the schedules given. Create the door schedule. Set the schedule properties for creating the room schedule using the Schedule Properties dialog box based on the schedules given. Create the room schedule. Create the wall schedule.

Tutorial 3 Create a new drafting detail of the road section, as shown in Figure 49. Figure 49 Sketch for creating the drafting detail of a road section

The following steps are required to complete this tutorial: Open a new project file and create a drafting view using the Drafting View tool. Set the drafting view parameters. Use the Filled Region tool to create its elements with fill patterns, refer to Figures 50 through 52. Figure 50 Sketched rectangle with the fill pattern

Figure 51 Sketched road section with pavers Figure 52 Sketched earth with the fill pattern Add the text notes, refer to Figures 53 and 54. Add the break lines to complete the detail.
