New Ways to Create Callouts in 2015

new to revit 2015 are some changes to referencing views. you now have the option to create your
callouts with non-rectangular shapes. additionally, for any view you reference using the previous
steps, you can now change the target view after you’ve created the callout or sectional reference.
In previous versions of revit you would have to delete the callout and re-create it—now simply
highlight it and choose a new detail to reference from the options bar.

8. Double-click the callout head, and you will be taken to the drafting view with the CAD
detail linked in the previous steps.
