2. 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.
