Adding Model Text - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

You can add model text in a project view and in the Family Editor for families that can be represented in
3D, such as walls, doors, windows, and furniture. Model text is not available for families that can only be
represented as 2D, such as annotations, detail components, and profiles.
You can specify many properties for model text, including font, size, and material.
Model Text Shown Cut
Model text in a project view is shown cut in a plan view if it intersects the cut plane of the view. See
Range Properties
Model text saved with a family is cut in plan or RCP views if the family is shown cut. It is not shown cut if
the family is not cuttable. For more information on which families can be shown cut, see
Non-Cuttable Family Categories
