using a graphical interface. Revolution Design has created a tool called Keynote Manager
(www.revolutiondesign.biz) that will manage your keynote list, create headings and
subheadings, and format the .txt file in a way that Revit can read it. Tools like this are great for
speeding up the editing process for keynotes and maintaining proper formatting of the .txt file.

Accessing Keynote Settings and Loading the Text File
Now that the keynote .txt file is established and you’ve begun populating it with annotations,
you need to link it to your project. Loading this file into the project is simple and needs to
happen only once. Additionally, loading this keynote file is a project setting, not a user setting.
Once the file is linked, all team members will have access to the keynotes.
To access the keynote settings and load the keynote text file, go to the Annotate tab in the
ribbon, locate the Tag panel, and then click Keynote ➢ Keynoting Settings, as shown in
Figure 18.14.
This command will open the Keynoting Settings dialog box (Figure 18.15). Here, you can
define the project’s keynote file as well as adjust some other settings. To load the keynote file,
click the Browse button and navigate to the .txt file you created.
