About this asset

This editable addendum note is a Revit annotation family designed for clear documentation of project revisions and site instructions. The annotation comprises a triangular revision tag containing a placeholder for an index number, paired with adjacent text fields for specific comments and revision dates. It is built as a generic annotation family, ensuring consistent graphical representation across all project sheets. The layout is clean and minimalist, adhering to standard architectural drafting conventions for clarity. Users can modify the instance parameters to update the revision number, descriptive text, and date fields directly within the drawing environment, maintaining a professional appearance that integrates seamlessly with existing title blocks and sheet setups.

The download is a 51 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

To implement this family, load the RFA file into your project template or current drawing file. Once loaded, access the symbol from the Annotate tab and place it onto your sheets or drafting views as required. The labels are parameter-driven, allowing for quick input of revision data via the properties palette. Because it is a 2D annotation element, it remains scale-independent, ensuring the text and triangle symbol maintain correct readability regardless of the viewport scale.

This annotation is essential for architects, engineers, and interior designers working on construction documentation and contract administration. It is typically used during the post-tender or construction phases to highlight addendums, site instructions, or design changes issued to contractors. Professionals often pair this symbol with revision clouds to draw attention to updated areas on floor plans, sections, or detail sheets. It is a fundamental component for maintaining accurate project records and clear communication throughout the lifecycle of a building project.
