Callouts And Sheets; Creating A Callout View - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

A view callout offers all the same capabilities as its parent view. For example, you can specify another view
to use as an underlay, assign a color scheme, and specify a view range. Use properties of the callout view to
specify these parameters.

Callouts and Sheets

Callouts are tools for making coherent document sets. They are designed to send the user (builder, contractor,
installer) from one view to another. Plan your use of views and callouts to provide a logical sequence that
moves the user from large-scale plans to views with greater levels of detail.
You can place callouts on the same sheet as the parent view, or place details on sheets by category (for
example, roof eave details, or window sill details). You can use standard details in drafting views as references
for multiple callouts that detail the same condition.
Creating a Callout View
You can add a detail callout or a view callout to a plan, section, detail, or elevation view. When you draw
the callout bubble in a view, Revit Architecture creates a callout view. You can then add details to the callout
view to provide more information about that part of the building model.
