Crop region: If a callout tag does not display in the parent view, check whether the callout tag is outside
the parent view s crop region. In the parent view, on the View Control Bar, click
Expand the crop region to the limits of the drawing to find the callout tag. If needed, adjust the crop
region to include the callout tag.
Hide at scales coarser than: This view parameter can control whether the tag for a detail callout displays
in other views. In the detail view, click
than parameter. When Show in is Parent View Only, Hide at scales coarser than is read-only. When Show
in is Intersecting Views, you can change the value of Hide at scales coarser than. As a result, Revit
Architecture displays the callout tag in any views that intersect the parent view perpendicularly, as long
as the view scale is more detailed than the scale specified by Hide at scales coarser than.

Reference Callouts

A reference callout is a callout that refers to an existing view. When you add a reference callout, Revit
Architecture does not create a view in the project. Instead, it creates a pointer to a specified, existing view.
Multiple reference callouts can point to the same view.

Reference Callouts Overview

You can place reference callouts in plan, elevation, section, callout, and drafting views. Multiple reference
callouts can point to the same view.
When using reference callouts, consider the following:
Reference callouts in section, plan, elevation, or callout views can reference cropped views of the same
type as the view in which the reference callout is placed.
Reference callouts in drafting views can reference any plan, section, elevation, or callout view if the crop
region displays in these views. Drafting views must use reference callouts; they cannot use detail callouts
or view callouts. (See
Check the properties of the referenced view to be sure that the Crop View parameter is turned on. See
Properties on page 210.
A reference callout does not have a parametric relationship with the referenced view. Therefore, if you change
or resize a reference callout, the changes do not affect the original referenced view. For example, resizing
the boundaries of a reference callout does not affect the crop region of the referenced view.

Creating a Reference Callout

NOTE To create a detail callout or a view callout, see
1 In a project, click View menu
2 On the Options Bar, select Reference other view, and select a reference view name.

If there are no existing views to reference, select <New Drafting View> to create a new drafting
view. The reference callout will then point to this new drafting view.
