Keynote Placement Tips

• For Revit to keynote a material, the element must be visible in the view, and the material must be displayed by setting the detail level to medium or fine.

  For example, if a door panel is not visible in plan view, you will not be able to keynote the material of the panel. The same door family can have a keynote or tag attached to the door panel's material in an elevation view, because the solid geometry is visible in the view.

• If you are not able to keynote or tag an element in a particular view, check the settings of the family. Nested family components need to be shared in order to place or display a keynote value. For more information about nested families, see Creating a Family with Nested and Shared Components.
