Revit - Annotations

Hello there! In this website, I am going to compile all the things that I can document with regards to Revit How To.

​

You may not use all of these, but it is very important to familiarize yourself with these annotations (both symbols and tags), so that when it is about time that you need to use any of these, you have any idea on where to find it, or on how to do it yourself. You can either directly use the annotations or edit any existing files to suit your drafting needs.
