Manage the complexity of a model by altering the visibility of callouts.
Revit offers several ways to control the visibility of callout bubbles in a view. If you cannot see callout tags in a view as expected, check the following:
-
Visibility/Graphics setting. Open the view in which you want to see the callout tag. Click View tab
Graphics panel
(Visibility/Graphics). On the Annotation Categories tab, under Visibility, make sure that Callouts is selected. (To hide all callout tags in the view, clear this option.)
-
Crop region. If a callout tag does not display in the parent view, check whether the callout tag is outside the parent view’s crop region. In the parent view, on the View Control Bar, click
(Show Crop Region). Expand the crop region to the limits of the drawing to find the callout tag. If needed, adjust the crop region to include the callout tag.
- Hide at scales coarser than. This view parameter can control whether the tag for a detail callout displays in other views. In the View Properties for the callout detail view, the Show in parameter controls the Hide at scales coarser than value. (The Show in parameter is not available for plan callouts.) When the Show in value is Parent View Only, Hide at scales coarser than is read-only. When the Show in value is Intersecting Views, you can change the value of the Hide at scales coarser than parameter. As a result, Revit displays the callout tag in any views that intersect the parent view perpendicularly, as long as the view scale is more detailed than the scale specified by Hide at scales coarser than.
- Parent View. When a callout view is created, the view it is created in is known as the "parent view". The Parent View parameter controls if the callout is related to the parent view or the callout view is independent. Set the Parent View parameter view to <none> to create an independent callout view. When a parent view is deleted, independent callout views will remain, callout views associated with a parent view will be deleted when the parent view is deleted.
- Show in. When a callout view is associated with a parent view, the Show in view parameter can be set to Intersecting Views or Parent View Only.
- Intersecting Views - Callout tag will be visible in all intersecting views of the model. Hide at scales coarser than view parameter is able to be set to control the visibility of the callout.
- Parent View Only - The callout tag will only be visible in the parent view.
