Roundtable Workshop: 2D Strategies - BIM Detailing and Annotation - Symbols

Moderator:

Robert Glover

Session Description
In this session we will explore effective methods for managing text annotations and dimensions within Revit. Attendees will gain insights into text and dimension standards that enhance clarity and consistency, improve efficiency, and ensure alignment with project documentation requirements. The presentation will cover text type standards, proper formatting, and leader attachment, along with techniques for using dimension types effectively to communicate design intent clearly. We will review industry standards and provide practical tips for maintaining readability and accuracy across various documentation views.

Learning Objectives

• Understand and Apply Text Standards in Revit: Attendees will learn how to create and apply text type naming standards and text formatting practices to maintain consistency and readability across project documentation.
• Optimize Dimensioning Practices: Attendees will gain knowledge on best practices for placing and formatting dimensions, including naming conventions, alignment options, and when to use different dimension types for clear and accurate communication.
• Improve Annotation Clarity Using Revit Tools: Attendees will become familiar with tools such as annotation scaling and view templates, enhancing clarity and consistency of annotations across various scales and views.
• Leverage Keyboard Shortcuts and Alt Codes for Efficiency: Attendees will discover how to use Alt codes and other keyboard shortcuts to enhance workflow efficiency when adding symbols, bullets, and special characters in Revit text.
