To create details in a view, use tools on the Annotate tab.
- Callouts. Create a callout first to get a close-up view of a plan or elevation view. All detail annotations are added to the callout view. See Callout views.
- Detail Lines. Use detail lines to add information or sketch over existing elements. See Draw Detail Lines.
- Dimensions. Apply specific dimensions to the detail. See About permanent dimensions.
- Text Notes. Use text notes to specify construction methods. See Text notes.
- Detail Components. Create and load custom detail components to place in the detail. Detail components might be actual construction components, such as structural steel, jambs, or metal studs. See Detail Components.
- Symbols. Place a symbol, such as a direction arrow or a break mark symbol to indicate omitted information. See Symbols.
- Masking Region. Create masking regions to obscure elements in a view. See Masking Regions.
- Filled Region. Create detail filled regions and give them a fill pattern to represent various surfaces, including concrete or compacted earth. You draw regions on the default work plane. It is not necessary to select a work plane for them. You can apply a fill pattern to the region. See Filled Regions and Fill Patterns.
- Insulation. Place insulation in a wall detail that shows all the material for the wall. For example, an exterior wall might include a layer of gypsum, insulation, metal studs, sheathing, air space, and brick. See Work with Insulation.
