The project that we are working on right now is in Revit except for the details which are in CAD. I am wanting to callout the details in Revit and edit the detail #/sheet # for each callout, basically I want a "dumb callout". I have looked around to see if I can find out how to make one but I can't find exactly what I am looking for in the callout. The only work around I have found is to create a type for each callout and place them in the model. I understand the best way is to import the details into Revit and reference them; however, due to time constraints and the amount of people in our office that know Revit we will have to keep them separate. We are basically doing one project with 2 programs. The detail sheets will be done and printed in CAD and the Plans, Sections, and Elevations will be done in Revit. If some one has created a "dumb callout" could you post it to this forum so that I can see how you made it.

Thanks for the help,

Matt

No need for a dummy tag.... .

This is one of the powers of Revit and you should use it.

Create identical sheet numbers in revit....make your callout and place this view on the appropriate sheet. ... just don't print these sheets

Oh boy... I see this being used in your office as an argument to NOT make the switch to revit.

Making identical sheets as WWhub said is definitely the way to do it.  Should take less than an afternoon.  So, Dummy sheets for intelligent callouts.
