About this asset

This Revit generic annotation symbol provides a standardized circular graphic element for technical documentation and drafting layouts. The Hold Up symbol consists of a simple, high-contrast graphic composed of a solid black circular core encapsulated within a thin black circular outline. This minimalist design ensures clear legibility when plotted at various scales, maintaining visual consistency across construction documentation sets. As a standard 2D annotation family, it lacks three-dimensional geometry, focusing purely on its communicative function within sheet views. The symbol is designed for precise placement within architectural or engineering plans, acting as a clear, unmistakable visual marker for specific project notes, hold points, or coordination requirements during the design and construction phases.

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 integrate this symbol into a Revit project, load the RFA file into the project environment or directly into a drafting view. Once loaded, it can be placed as a generic annotation element on any sheet or within a view. Users can adjust the scale or visibility settings via the object styles or visibility/graphics overrides menu to ensure it aligns with established office CAD standards and line weight conventions for project documentation.

Architects and engineers utilize this symbol to clearly denote hold points, critical coordination areas, or specific construction sequences on floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, and detail sheets. It is an essential component for maintaining clarity in complex BIM workflows, ensuring that contractors and consultants immediately recognize designated hold locations. Professionals often search for this asset when organizing technical drawing sets, improving communication of site instructions, or standardizing project-wide graphic notations across diverse building typologies including residential, commercial, and healthcare developments.
