Topic: Symbols in Revit Text

Written by: Kristen Fierro, Senior Applications Engineer

Date: June 29, 2009

When symbols are needed in a string of Revit text, symbols from the Microsoft Character map will need to be

used. To access this use either Start - Programs - Accessories - Character Map or click Start, Run, and type

Charmap.

Select the desired symbol. The keystroke for that symbol can be found in the bottom right hand corner of this

dialog box. Switch back to Revit. When placing text, type this keystroke in using a keypad.

Note: The numbers across the top of the keyboard will not work. If there are difficulties with the keyboard access

described above use a copy and paste approach. While in the character map, select the symbol, hit the select

button next to characters to copy and then select copy. Then use control+v while typing the text in Revit.
