Adding Detailed Keynotes to A702 Section for Single Ply Roofing and Insulation

Now let's go ahead and bring A702 up to the same level of detail as 701. So I'm going to start with Section 2 here and just work my way from top to bottom. So User Keynotes—you know, I want to add the roof keynote, so the roofing note for the single-ply roofing here.

I'm going to add the same note for the insulation that we were doing before. And then I'll go ahead and start adding some of our material notes as well. But since I'm already in the User Note, I might as well add this one for the batt insulation.

And then I can pop over to Material Keynotes. And this is our favorite one because a lot of it's already set up. So I can easily apply these ones.

And then I can add the keynote for the slab here. And so you can see as you kind of get rolling with this, it becomes just a procedure that you pop through. So with the combination of Element Keynotes, User Keynotes, and Material Keynotes, you know, we can knock this out pretty quickly.

And so again, going back to the User Keynotes here, we can add that note for the metal soffit panel. And then again, remember, when we use a User Keynote, if we're referencing the same object—because it doesn't matter what we reference there—we have to start over. So I'll just add the insulation keynote.

And since I got a little tight there, I can move those around a little bit. And within a couple of minutes there, we've got quite a bit of notes onto one of our sections with a very low amount of effort, because we did the homework and had this thing set up pretty quickly and early on. So I can go ahead and do the same thing over here for the other section.

You know, whether I start with the Material Keynotes or not—you know, that's up to you guys on the procedure you want to go through. But I'll just go through with the Material Keynotes here first, and then I can pop back in and do the other ones. And this is a process too—you can see I'm moving fairly quickly—but you do want to take your time and make sure you're not just blowing and going and hitting anything.

So I am making sure as I note something that it does make sense to what I'm hitting. And so if I swap back to Element Keynotes—you know, when I hit another one of these objects—I want to make sure, you know, the note that I'm adding makes sense. And so, you know, going in now to doing the User Keynotes, I can get these lined up and, like, this could be my metal soffit.

It could be the same note for our insulation—you know, a lot of different options that you can do here for the arrangement. But the most important thing is, like, as you're adding these notes, making sure that the keynote that you're giving it actually makes sense for the item you're placing. So that's much more important than it is just adding many notes to the plan.

Okay, and then the last couple of things here are going to be the roof notes, again, the insulation, and the single-ply membrane. And that gets us to a pretty good point with the project at this point in time. And so you can see we've got a lot of keynotes added and a little bit of embellishment on the view. There's still a lot more that we can do here.

But this is a good start and where we want to be at this phase of the project.
