How to Make & Use Smart Keynotes | Revit 

best revit channel hands down

Thank you! So much easier than traditional keynotes.

This was VERY helpful and this method is versatile. Thank you for the time and effort!

This was a life saver for me! My firm is switching over to revit and I am required to teach myself. Could not figure out keynotes for the life of me and other tutorials were not nearly as helpful!

I was always had trouble with efficient scheduling on revit! thank you so much :)))

thank you!!! Very helpful.

Thanks! I'm going to try it!

Awesome. Thanks.

👍👍👍👍 perfect video!

truly underrated channel

Very nice, going to save space on my sheets..

Thanks!

Awesome. I’ve tried the other keynote methods and this is quick and simple. Tks

Thanks man

Mulțumim!

Really like this, but I don't like adding a leader each time. i would like to have an automatic leader

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Only question, is there any way to add the circle around the number on the schedule??

We do basically the same thing for our keynotes except we filter by sheet number instead of a view type. The issue that has come up again and again over the years is that it is a pain to modify the text of a note that has a bunch of text (several sentences), the small line in the schedule makes it tough to find something in the middle of the note text and edit it. Do you have any suggestions to combat that issue? You can't stretch the boundary of the schedule because it effects how it looks on the sheet. In the past we have created "designer" versions of the schedules that have the text column stretched out and that helps a little but created double the number of schedules. We have tried to link to excel and modify the text in the spreadsheet but that is clunky and had issues as well.

I like this concept for keynoting, thanks for the tip. Would it be possible to do this same concept with a multi-category tag? Think bill of material list per page with the filter being by sheet number. I think the key is getting that parameter into the multi-category family, but I haven't figure that out yet. Thanks for all the hard work creating these videos!

Since I have multiple same tags on my plan, the legend lists each tag?

Hi , have a doubt regarding text height .. as in autodesk they mentioned text height (annotation element) is relative to scale of view ,it should work(maximise & minimise) bassed on scale vary but for some scales its not working like that...for example text height is 2.5mm for scale 1:50 &1:25 it will work nice but for 1:100 & 1:200 text look bigger in view ,so any option is there to set same text height for any scale ?

Any suggestions on tags that keep code and number of elements? For example in a structural floor plan a tag that displays the element type and individual number for hollow core decks?

Would you happen to have a video on how to assign keynotes or tags to specific components or detail lines? for instance, the AHJ I work with always requires that a furnace have a certain building code referenced in the keynote. Is it possible to edit the family of the component so that the tag and keynote is built in? that way i can just go through the model and tag the different components. Is this possible?

IN CAD.....I MADE A VISIBILITY BLOCK.....INSIDE THIS BLOCK WAS 200 KEYNOTES FROM 1 TO 200.....U SELECT THE NUMBER U WANT THEN IS SHOWS UP......U NEED ANOTHER, COPY THAT ONE DOWN AND DO IT AGAIN. Now Revit on the other hand, not so easy to customize.....so i am applying the same method i did in cad into revit using the Annotation Family.....just started this today.....in the end.....that family would have that lookup list showing the listed keynotes......i hope this idea pans out.......the draw back is creating that initial state for that one keynote TIMES 200 or so......but it will save time in the long run

Use Filter by sheet. Its helpful and better than adding parameter for filtering ❤

Considering using keynotes, but the notes need to be wrapped in details, is this possible?

is there any video abt difference b/w "material take off & schedule "

I guess it wont work well when I have 40 floor plans multiplied by three categories, managing 120 sheet notes schedules would be such a pain. Would you recommend doing the keynotes with text file for that situation?

Many Thanks, I have petition and idea if could be possible. Petition if you could do a tutorial of how to parameterize the key note/label to detect the scale? yo mentioned in the 5 min of your video and I am interested in learning how to do it. The idea instate of creating a the last parameter in your key note that must be "manually type", could it be possible to create a parameter that is attached to a view parameter like the "View Name"? will be automatically, you will have full control of where the notes are, and you are eliminating a step for the user.

How is this better than regular tags or Keynote tags? I really want to know, cause I dont se any advantage in your method. It actually looks very inneficient for large proyects. (Im not trying to be an ass, Im just asking)

I still prefer Revit’s keynote
