About this asset

This Revit annotation symbol features a circular section head with a triangular pointer and a supplementary SIM text label. The symbol consists of a circular housing divided horizontally, designed to accommodate a detail number in the upper half and a sheet reference in the lower half. A triangular pointer is integrated at the top of the circle to indicate the direction of the section cut. The design includes a fixed 'SIM' text element positioned to the side, suitable for annotating similar conditions within a set of construction documents. The linework is clean and standard, ensuring high legibility at typical plotting scales used in architectural documentation.

The download is a 61 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.

In Revit, this family is loaded into the project environment and applied to section markers via the Type Properties dialogue. Users can adjust the visibility of the text labels and the 'SIM' tag to suit specific drawing requirements. The family is designed to maintain consistent line weights across various scales, ensuring that the annotation remains crisp when printed on A1, A3, or digital PDFs. It functions as a standard system component for referencing detail views.

This annotation symbol is essential for architects and technicians preparing detailed construction documentation for residential, commercial, or institutional projects. It is typically used in the production of floor plans, elevations, and building sections to cross-reference specific construction details found on other sheets. The inclusion of the 'SIM' tag streamlines the process of marking similar assemblies, reducing the need for redundant drawing and tagging. It is compatible with standard BIM workflows and integrates seamlessly into existing office drawing templates.
