Hello guys,

We are again here with the New Topic of #WednesdayQuizMaster On Generic Annotations In Revit!

In Revit, Annotation families are valuable. You can also place a symbol in any 2D model view, legend, or draft view in Revit. Revit Keynote is the element from a predefined list of Key Values & Text. For using those keynotes, it must be specified in the library.

A Generic Annotations symbol in Revit is primarily a block with characteristics from AutoCAD. In simple words, it is a simple symbol with a user-editable text field(s). For the BIM purists, Generic Annotations are NOT very “intelligent.” It is because the data does not get reported from the model like a standard tag. Instead of that, the data exists in the fields of the Generic Annotation object mainly.

In Generic Annotation, you can add many other additional parameters exceeding what you require to perform in the symbol. All of the Revit tags, as well as the symbols, are annotation families. Thus, ONLY Generic annotation families (Symbols) can report to Note Block schedules.

Thus, it was a short description about Generic Annotation in Revit. Want to learn more? Visit here.
