Here’s a comprehensive tutorial on Annotation in Revit:
Annotation Overview
Annotation in Revit allows you to add text, dimensions, and other graphical elements to your designs. Annotations help communicate design intent, provide context, and clarify the design.
Types of Annotations
Revit provides several types of annotations:
1. Text: Adds text notes to the design.
2. Dimensions: Adds dimensions to the design, including linear, angular, and radial dimensions.
3. Tags: Adds tags to elements, including room tags, door tags, and window tags.
4. Leaders: Adds leaders to annotations, including text, dimensions, and tags.
5. Symbols: Adds symbols to the design, including architectural, mechanical, and electrical symbols.
Adding Annotations
To add annotations in Revit:
1. Select the Annotation Tool: Choose the annotation tool from the Annotate tab.
2. Click on the Design: Click on the design to place the annotation.

4. Adjust the Annotation: Adjust the annotation as required, including its location, size, and orientation.
Annotation Properties
Annotation properties control the appearance and behavior of annotations:
1. Text Properties: Controls the text font, size, color, and style.
2. Dimension Properties: Controls the dimension style, including the unit system, precision, and tick mark size.
3. Tag Properties: Controls the tag style, including the tag type, size, and orientation.
4. Leader Properties: Controls the leader style, including the leader type, size, and orientation.
