Adding a Revision Cloud

1. In the project, open a view in which you want to indicate changes.

   You can sketch revision clouds in all views except 3D views.

2. Click Annotate tabDetail panel (Revision Cloud).

   Revit enters sketch mode.

3. Sketch a cloud, as follows:
   1. In the drawing area, place the cursor near the part of the view that has changed.
   2. Click and move the cursor in a clockwise direction to create a segment of the cloud.
   3. Click to stop that segment and start a new segment.
   4. Continue creating cloud segments until the cloud encompasses the changed area.
4. Sketch additional clouds, if needed.
5. Click Modify | Create Revision Cloud Sketch tabMode panel (Finish Edit Mode).

By default, Revit assigns to the clouds the latest revision assigned to any view on that view’s sheet. (In the sheet properties, the Current Revision parameter identifies this revision.) To assign a different revision, see Assigning a Revision to a Revision Cloud.
