BIM Software Tips: How to Create Annotation Leader Families in Revit
When working in Revit, annotating your model clearly and neatly is essential. Typically, annotation is done using leader lines as shown in the example, but this process can be quite time-consuming. Below, we’ll walk you through a faster and simpler method.
1. Start by creating a new family. Select the Metric Detailed Drawing template and open it as shown in the image.
2. Draw a reference plane and add instance parameters named a, b, and c, following the example.
3. Use the Create toolbar to draw a line as demonstrated. Save your family, then load it into your project for use.
By following these steps, you can create various leader styles by adjusting parameters to suit your specific model requirements.
The key takeaway: When annotating drawings, adding appropriately spaced leader lines is crucial. Because different projects have unique drawing standards, creating families with adjustable parameters allows you to customize leader spacing to meet those diverse needs.
