Callout Views
A callout shows part of another view at a larger scale. In a construction document set, use callouts to provide
an orderly progression of labeled views at increasing levels of detail.
Callouts Overview
You can add a callout to a plan, section, detail, or elevation view. In these views, the callout tag is linked to
the callout view. The callout view shows an enlarged version of part of the parent view, and provides more
information or details about that part of the building model.
The view in which a callout is drawn is the parent of the callout view. If the parent view is deleted, the
callout is also deleted.
