Using Note Blocks for Numbered Notes

A Note Block can be used to create a numbered list of notes in your project.

The Note Block tool creates a unique kind of schedule that reads the parameters for a generic annotation family.  The annotation family is placed into the project and populated with the information you want to track.  The note block will sort and arrange the information that has been placed in the generic annotation elements.

It is important to understand that the note block element is reading parameters assigned to the annotation element and not any other elements in the Revit model.  In order to make a change, the annotation element properties must be changed.

This file is a Revit file which contains a small sample project that has a note block.  The project also contains a sample generic annotation that has parameters which can be used to create a note block.

You could use this technique to create a general construction notes block or a demolition block of notes.
