HI,

I HAVE A COOKER FAMILY THAT I WANT TO ADD THE TEXT 'COOKER NOT PROVIDED' SO YOU CAN SEE IT IN ELEVATION.

I HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE WITH A RAINWATER PIPE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE 'RWP' TEXT ADDED TO THE PLAN VIEW.

I HAVED ADDED TEXT FROM THE ANNOTATE TAB TO THE FAMILY IN FRONT ELEVATION OR REF PLAN VIEW BUT WHEN I LOAD IT INTO MY PROJECT I CAN'T SEE THE TEXT.

I HAVE CHECKED THE 'VISIBLE' BOX AND ALL BOXES ARE TICKED IN VISIBILTY GRAPHICS.

(REVIT 2015)

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

You can not add 2D text to families like this.   You could add model text but I would not recommend it. 

You could group the element in a project with annotations and that can be saved in a library.
