Detailing Tools
■ Callouts: Create a callout first to get a close-up view of a plan or elevation view. All detail annotations
are added to the callout view. See
Callout Views on page 98.
■ Detail Lines: Use detail lines to add information or sketch over existing elements. See Detail Lines on
page 1094.
■ Dimensions: Apply specific dimensions to the detail. See Placing Permanent Dimensions on page 215.
■ Text Notes: Use text notes to specify construction methods. See Text Notes on page 1027.
■ Detail Components: Create and load custom detail components to place in the detail. Detail components
might be actual construction components, such as structural steel, jambs, or metal studs. See
Creating a
Detail Component Family on page 1083.
■ Symbols: Place a symbol, such as a direction arrow or a break mark symbol to indicate omitted information.
See
Symbols on page 1071.
■ Masking Region: Create masking regions to obscure elements in a view. See Masking Regions on page
1087.
■ Filled Region: Create detail filled regions and give them a fill pattern to represent various surfaces,
including concrete or compacted earth. You draw regions on the default work plane. It is not necessary
to select a work plane for them. You can apply a fill pattern to the region by selecting the region lines
and clicking Properties. Set a value for the Fill Pattern property. The different fill patterns are defined by
the Fill Patterns command. See
Filled Region on page 1093 and Fill Patterns on page 449.
■ Insulation: Place insulation in a wall detail that shows all the material for the wall. For example, an
exterior wall might include a layer of gypsum, insulation, metal studs, sheathing, air space, and brick.
See
Insulation on page 1073.
