Create legends to list the building components and annotations used in a project.

Example

Revit Structure

Example

Some typical legends include

Legends can be added to multiple sheets. Any elements that can be placed in drafting views, such as detail lines, text, dimensions, and filled regions, can be placed in a legend.

Legend views are unique to each project, and therefore cannot be transferred from one project to another.

NoteA component that is placed in a legend does not count as an additional instance of the component in the building model, and thus is not added to the number of instances of that component listed on a schedule or note block.

Visibility of Elements in Legends

You can modify legend views by turning off the visibility of subcategories in the view. See Visibility and Graphic Display in Project Views.

Example: You can place several door legend components and then turn off all the door subcategories (except for Frame/Mullion) to produce a Door Frame Legend.
