The Bottom Line

Annotate with text and keynotes. Although a picture is worth a thousand words, you will still need notes in order to make drawings understandable and be able to call out key elements in each view. Understand how to create and modify text and keynotes for a complete set of documents.

Master It To properly utilize the keynoting feature, you'll need to understand what each of the three keynote types do and how they're used. List each and explain how they can be used in a project.

Use tags. Tags are text labels for elements such as doors, walls, windows, rooms, and several other objects that architects typically need to reference in a set of drawings. These tags typically refer back to other schedules or information in other portions of the drawing set and are unique to the view in which they are inserted.

Master It Inserting tags quickly can be a good way to make documentation time more efficient. How can you quickly tag a number of elements in the model at the same time?

Add dimensions. Dimensioning is a critical part of the project documentation, allowing you to communicate the distance elements are from one another.

Master It Adding dimensions is a necessary part in any project. However, in a project workflow you will typically want to change the location of a dimension's witness line without having to recreate the entire dimension. How do you move a witness line without remaking the entire dimension?

Set project and shared parameters. Revit lets users add as many custom parameters to an element as are needed to document the project. These parameters can be both tagged and scheduled, depending on how they are made.

Master It You need to add a custom parameter for your project to track the percentage of recycled content in materials. What's the best way to go about doing this?
