Like a map legend, a legend on a sheet helps the building professional interpret the drawings correctly.
In a construction document set, you can include the following types of legends:
- Component legend: A list of components used in the building model, with details about their structure, representation in drawings, or visual appearance.
- Keynote legend: A list of keynotes used to document the building model.
- Symbol legend: A list of the symbols that are used in drawings.

To add a legend to a sheet
- Create the legend view in the project.
- Open the sheet on which you want to place the legend view.

You can place a legend view on multiple sheets.
- (Optional) For a component legend or symbol legend, hide the view title.
- (Optional) For a keynote legend, do the following:
