Revit - Section Bubble Placed in Text

By Garry Stockton

Recently on a training course I was asked how to place a callout detail bubble or a section bubble amongst text notes where the actual leader for the bubble is not desired.  The user still wanted to have the information within the bubble to auto-update, so the bubble needs to be an actual callout. This is a very common situation I believe.

The following image is an example of a typical situation.

This can be done initiating the View Reference command from the View tab.   Go to the View Reference panel that appears in the menu and select the desired View Type and the desired Target View.

Choose the appropriate View Reference type in the Type Properties dialog box.

You can now place the bubble in the view and only the Bubble with associated parameters will be seen.
