REVIT Building 9 - Keynotes
Keynotes have to be the biggest untold secret of REVIT. With these CADclips you will learn keynotes with so much detail it scares me !
 
 


Here are the basic steps:

1. Get to know the 16 divisions of the RevitKeynotes_Imperial.txt file.

2. Make a copy of this file and modify it as required.

3. Associate all your object types, materials and families to this file.

4. Perhaps save them in a template file.

5. Start labeling


Also included is a copy of the finished RVT file used in the process and the "DG RevitKeynotes_Imperial.TXT" file that was used and modified.

TIP

Unfortunately Autodesk has not made the process of modifying the RevitKeynotes_Imperial.txt file on the fly very fluid.

There is no ‘re-read’ or ‘reinitialize’ button.

To edit and then re-read the RevitKeynotes_Imperial.txt file on the fly do the following:

a) Open the RevitKeynotes_Imperial.txt file in notepad.

b) Make changes and save the file. (leave it open if you want)

c) In REVIT point and path to a different keynotes file.

d) Close the dialog box.

d) Point back to your modified path and file.
