To accomplish this, follow these four main steps:

Step 1: Use Revit 2015, 2016, or 2017 to create the components.

Step 2: Generate a detailed parts list that includes images.

Step 3: Create drawings and place the detailed tables accordingly.

Step 4: Customize the text and title fonts of the detailed table to meet your display preferences.

Below is a detailed explanation of each step, along with image references:

1. Using any version of Revit 2015, 2016, or 2017, create the required components.

2. Save the shape and style of each component as an image on your desktop. (Simply saving the image is sufficient; no specific folder is required.)

Understanding the relationship between images and graphic elements:

Image: Represents instance properties of elements within the model.

Type Image: Corresponds to the type properties of elements in a model or family.

Shape Image: Refers to the type properties of reinforcement shape type families.
