About this asset

This NCS standard hexagonal keynote symbol is a native Revit annotation family designed for clear, consistent documentation in projects. The symbol features a clean, geometric hexagonal frame enclosing a central text field, paired with a standard leader line terminating in a solid arrow. Its proportions adhere to the United States National CAD Standard, ensuring compatibility with conventional architectural drafting practices. The geometry is strictly two-dimensional, constructed using standard Revit line-based and text-based parameters. This family is designed to maintain consistent scale across varying view scales, ensuring that the text remains legible whether placed on a large-scale site plan or a detailed interior elevation sheet.

The download is a 143 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 symbol, load the family into your Revit project and access it via the 'Symbol' tool within the Annotate tab. It is designed to be placed directly onto sheets or within drafting views. Users can modify the keynote value through the instance properties of the symbol. Ensure that the text label parameters are mapped to your project's preferred font and size settings to maintain alignment with your firm's existing CAD standards and documentation templates.

This keynote tag is essential for production-stage documentation across all building typologies, from residential developments to large-scale commercial fit-outs. It is typically deployed on floor plans, wall sections, and detail sheets to reference specific material specifications or construction notes. Professionals frequently use these for clear communication of project-specific requirements, pairing them with standard schedules. Search for these symbols when standardising your firm's annotation library or when transitioning legacy CAD details into a more structured, BIM-compliant Revit workflow for improved project coordination.
