exercise 11.1: enhance a Detail with regions

Enhancing your model with 2D linework and components is an efficient way to
add more information to specific views without modeling everything. It is not
necessary to model flashing, blocking, or other elements shown only in large-
scale format detail drawings. Using detail lines, regions, and detail components,
you can enhance your views to show additional design intent.
From the topic's web page ( www.sybex.com/go/revit2015essentials ) , down-
load the c11-ex11.1start.rvt file and open the view Exterior Detl, Typ, which
you'll find in the Sections (Building Section) node of the Project Browser. In the
following exercise, you will create a detail and enhance the detail using filled
and masking regions to accurately represent built conditions within a typical
window detail:

1. Use the Callout tool on the View tab to create a new detail of the
second-floor window sill: Create a new callout, and name it Exterior
Window Sill, Typ . The starting view looks like Figure 11.7.

2. Click the Filled Region button under the Region flyout on the
Annotate tab. Choose <Invisible lines> from the Line Style
