Creating A Material Takeoff Schedule; Annotation Schedules (Note Blocks); Creating An Annotation Schedule (Note Block) - Autodesk 256B1-05A761-1301 - AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2010 User Manual

NOTE When Revit Architecture computes the volume of materials for individual layers within a wall, some
approximations are made to maintain performance. Minor discrepancies might appear between the volumes
visible in the model and those shown in the material takeoff schedule. These discrepancies tend to occur when
you use the wall sweep tool to add a sweep or a reveal to a wall, or under certain join conditions.

Annotation Schedules (Note Blocks)

Annotation schedules, or note blocks, list all instances of annotations that you can add using the Symbol
tool. See Creating an Annotation Symbol Family
Note blocks are useful for listing notes that are applied to elements in your project. For example, you might
want to attach a note to several walls, and that note might have a building description for each of the walls.
