Before I came to my current office, they predominantly used boxed text with arrows to denote the extents of their shear walls in wood framed buildings. I tried to make something a little more elegant / standardized and created a family with text box, and pull arrows. The problem is that I found is that I couldn't create a family with arrows that I could pull, as well as text that I can modify.. within an Annotation family. So I had to create a Generic Model family, with annotation elements that are only seen in Plan view.
I'm wondering if anyone has some tips on how to make this perform better, or if you have any better ways of denoting your shear walls. I've attached a file with the annotation I'm using.
Thanks,
