Annotation symbols used in
a set of construction
documents
symbolic line A line that provides information but is not intended to represent actual geometry in an
element. For example, when creating a door family, you might sketch symbolic lines in an elevation view
to represent a door swing. Symbolic lines are visible parallel to the view in which you sketch them.
You can control the visibility of symbolic lines on cut instances. You can also control the visibility of symbolic
lines based on the detail level of the view. See Family Editor Commands on page 377.
system family A Revit family that can be used as a building block for creating families. Revit Architecture
provides system families for floors, walls, ceilings, roofs, drawing sheets, viewports, and other elements. You
cannot delete system families.
tag An annotation used to identify elements in a drawing. Tags provide a way to automate the display of
attributes for an element or type. Revit Architecture provides default tags for some types of elements, such
as windows, doors, and rooms. You can change the information displayed in tags, and you can create labels
