Enlarged View Within A View

[taylor.odell676489]

Don't know if this is possible to do this intelligently. It could be done with detail lines within the view but I'm hoping to do this the "Revit way" not the "AutoCAD Way."

Is there anyway that this can be done with a callout where the call out will contain the view instead of the reference bubble. I've attached a sketch of what I'm hoping to achieve.

Let me know if anyone needs more clarification and thanks in advance for any help. :beer:

Taylor,

Welcome to AUGI, Taylor.

You can use a Callout View. In a sheet view you can create this effect by placing the plan then the reference callout view. You might want to use some detail lines, but you can get real close to what you want. Better question is, do you need to do it that way?

Cheers,
Jeff S.

Jeff,

Thanks for the welcome and the help. I don't want it this way, the project architect does and I didn't know if Revit could do it. Our office is finally implementing Revit after trying ArchiCAD (which is a whole different discussion) to evaluate the two side by side.

When I do what you recommended in the sheet view, the enlarged detail won't hide the call-out reference from the smaller plan. Is there a way to make the background of the detail opaque or should I just put a filled region in the parent view over the reference call-out?

So, what you're going to want to do is edit that callout type, duplicate it, name it appropriately, then change the callout head type to "None".

Awesome! Thanks again for the post and the knowledge. Looking forward to learning more and making Revit an office standard.

Jeff, I believe, this will remove both, head and a leader.
To keep the leader only, open Callout Head.rfa, rename it and delete the head, load it to your project and apply to the callout in its Type Properties.

You can do that too, but I'm not sure how comfortable Taylor is with family modifications. Keeping it simple.

I duplicated the call-out view family not to have a head, then I also had to duplicate the callout tag component of the call-out family so that I could create a head that didn't have a reference bubble. This also took away the leader line (since there was no referenced view) but I added that back into the "parent" view with a detail line.

Thanks for all your help!

There is no need for a detail line. Enclosed callout head family will give you a leader, but no head. Apply it to your callout in the type properties window – see pic.
