Aubin for an in depth discussion in this video understanding the differences between detail and floor plan callouts part of revit.
Revit filter floor plan callouts.
Revitize another revit blog.
Based on these differences one can choose a particular type.
I can t seem to be able to reference plan view callouts on an elevation view though floor plan views don t appear in the list.
On some of the plan detail callouts i d like to have a reference label of sim or sim.
Plan callout detail callout callout tag visible in intersecting views no yes color schemes can be assigned yes no can.
O h but it seems that you get one type and one type only for floor plan callouts and thus only one reference label.
The plan details are not drafting views but rather model views with some detail and annotations added to them.
To add a callout to a view a callout head must be loaded into the project.
See about callout tags.
Callout view plan vs detail.
Along the way this went unnoticed and every time a new floor plan was created using the duplicate floor plan technique another callout cloud was also duplicated on the original host plan.
I would now like to reference them with a detail section on the elevation views to provide a better idea of where they are being cut.
This continued to the point where this host floor plan view was so overrun with callout clouds that it was simply renamed do not touch as deleting it.
When you draw the callout bubble in a view revit creates a callout view.
Each view type has some built in properties and settings.
I have created some floor plan callouts i used these because i wanted to change the cut plane of the callout to a higher elevation.
You can then add details to the callout view to provide more information about that part of the building model.
If you add a callout tag to a floor plan view the callout view is also a floor plan view and displays in the project browser under views all floor plans.
When you add a view callout to a view revit creates a view that has the same view type as the parent view.
