To resolve these issues, you can select a new keynote value that is part of the project's keynote table, or add
the keynote value to the keynote table. See
Adding Additional Categories on page 1063.
Types of Keynotes
■ Element. A keynote can be applied to an entire element, such as a wall, detail component, or door.
■ Material. A keynote can be assigned to a material that has been painted on a surface, and to materials
assigned to the component layers of an element. Keynotes are not supported for the insulation drafting
command or the detail components line and filled region.
■
User. This option provides a way to use commonly used notes or phrases to address documentation
issues. These additional user notes must be added to the provided keynote text files or included in one
that you create. See
Adding Additional Categories on page 1063.
Assigning Keynote Values
Assigning Keynote Values to Materials
Keynote selection can be applied to materials. Keynotes are assigned to materials on the Identity Tab of the
Materials dialog. To access the Materials dialog, click Settings menu
➤
Materials.
When materials are assigned a keynote value, the objects that use these materials inherit the keynote value
accordingly.
A great deal of time can be saved if the materials of a project have their keynote values applied before you
apply keynote tags to materials.
Assigning Keynote Values to Elements
All elements have a Keynote Type parameter. These can be supplied in advance using the Element Properties
dialog (see
Element Properties Dialog on page 75), or selected when the tag is placed.
Assigning Keynote Values Using Tags
After you apply a keynote tag to an element, material, or user, you can select the keynote tag and click over
the keynote value or empty value to open the Keynotes dialog. When a material has no assigned keynote
value, Revit Architecture opens the Keynotes dialog so that you can pick one.
NOTE If you click OK, Revit Architecture uses the keynote value that is currently selected. If you click Cancel, the
keynote value remains empty.
Keynote Legend
You can access the Keynote Legend command by clicking View menu
