Chapter 18
Annotating Your Design
No set of documents is complete without the annotations to describe the drawings. Even when
you are using a digital, parametric model, you still need to provide annotated documents. It is
necessary to add dimensions, tags, text, and notes to the drawings to properly communicate
with owners, contractors, and the rest of the design team.
In this chapter, you’ll learn to:
◆ ◆◆ Annotate with text and keynotes
◆ ◆◆ Use tags
◆ ◆◆ Add dimensions
◆ ◆◆ Set project and shared parameters
Annotating with Text and Keynotes
Notes are a critical part of communicating design and construction intent to owners and
builders. No drawing set is complete without descriptions of materials and the work like the
ones you can see in Figure 18.1.
