Annotations for Horizontals and Alternate Verticals
One issue that causes a lot of work is going through elevations and insuring that the correct components are applied to elevations. For instance if an elevation has 3 different types of horizontals it would be helpful to show what horizontal type/name is applied to each component in an elevation view. This one is simple but on large units it gets to be very tedious.

Yes the detail bubble would suffice so long as it applied them automatically and displayed which one was "typical" -

Ben Zuill-Smith AdminHi Sean, makes sense. This is typically done in shop drawings by assigning a detail label and showing a "detail bubble" with a line that crosses the member. This would reduce the text on the window as a full description with likely overlap with window sizes and other things people like to see. Would this work for you? I imagine we would want to label any members that are not Typical.
I know v15 has been lacking in this area. We can definitely improve this in v16. Alternate members in v16 should at least highlight orange already so it is clear they are not typical members. -

Vince RizzoWe like the idea of showing what horizontal/vertical parts are used. It would be great if it just showed all the parts. In my mind there are a couple of ways to do it. One would be by putting it on a specific layer that could be turned on/off for viewing. The other "hi-tech" way would be to show the parts if you put your mouse arrow on it. This way they only show when you need them.
The thing about the bubble that I don't care for is we do not use GDS for shop drawings and we don't use any of the manufacturers so we don't have their part detail library. We created our own custom supplier catolog that we update with parts from multiple suppliers. -

Brian RogersIt would be helpful to hover over the parts to see a drawings of the part as well as a list of the assembly parts. Additionally, it would be helpful to have an option to print elevations with the part details under and to the side of the elevation for fabrication. This way the fabricators and installers can see the parts they are assembling on the elevation.
