Open the Title Block family into which you will place the Key Plan.At this point, your Key Plan family is complete.Note: If you have any Detail Groups within your Key Plan Graphics, as I did to collect the various parts of the north arrow graphics, you will need to edit the group to be able to assign the appropriate visibility parameters to the nested graphics within the Detail Group. Repeat the previous three steps to assign the SectorA and SectorB Yes/No parameters to the visibility of the associated graphics (in my example, the filled regions).Keep in mind that the intersection of the two reference planes will be the initial insertion point for your Key Plan family and position your graphics accordingly. As shown below, I created scaled-down outlines of the two wings of my building and then added text to identify the wings, filled regions with solid black fill for each wing, and the north arrow graphics. You can scale graphics inside the family, so you could draw the building outline in the family to scale and then scale it down to fit the area available in your title block for your Key Plan. There does not appear to be a way to make use of any sort of graphics in a project file and transfer them to a family file. You are going to have to figure this one out on your own. Create the graphics for your Key Plan.I also want to be able to show the Key Plan outline graphics with no fill. I want a solid fill to show in the Key Plan indicating the area that is being shown on that drawing. There will be plans that show the overall building, as well as larger scale plans showing only one of the two wings. I do not want to show a Key Plan on every sheet in the set, so I will need a Key Plan type that shows nothing at all. I also do not want to set up a title block family type for each Key Plan option. I do not want to have to place the Key Plan family separately on each Sheet I want it to be part of the title block family so that it need only be placed once, and will always be in the exact same position on each Sheet. Determine how your Key Plan needs to function.In the New Family - Select Template File dialog, navigate to the folder where you or your firm have placed the Annotation Family Templates, and choose Generic Annotation.rft. From the Application Menu - Big "R" in the upper left corner - choose New > Family. Start a new Generic Annotation Family.This tutorial was prepared using Revit Architecture 2011 interface elements in other versions or releases may vary. It was not intended to be a step-by-step tutorial, so I am providing this post to fill in some of the gaps and make it easier to follow along.
It has come to my attention that my Revit Key Plans article can be hard to follow, particularly if you are not familiar with some of the concepts or procedures used.
