Let's go ahead and tag the rest of our interior elevations now. So I'm going to go to the bathroom elevations and add some tags in here for the elements that we can and that's going to be the tile here. So I'll go ahead and go again to that annotate tab, grab that symbol and place it and it'll be the same tile here.

And so we'll use that same process where we can add the leader, make sure it is easy to read. So sometimes when you have like a heavy pattern like this, it's better to have it at an angle just so it's easier to read. And we can tag the wall base down here too.

So I could use create similar, type in the right tag, the B-1 and then add the leader. And so we can tag a few of these as well. And so I can go in just to make sure I get something on this guy, put the base tag on there, and I'll go ahead and add the tag to the rest of the tags to the materials that we know about to the rest of my views here.

And we might as well add one for the crown molding as well. And I'll just call that CM-1. And I've got these two elevations in the restroom that I can tag.

And I'll just place a few in here because I know I'm going to add it to a few different things and then update the designation, add my leaders. And there we go. Now what we can do is we can take these same processes that we've just used here and add the tags to our finish plan.
