In certain family categories, a face-based family will display the option Maintain Annotation Orientation. The issue lies within the chosen Revit family category. A quick search in Google will show that this is an old wish. It seems to be something that people would like to be able to do, yet, apparently, cannot in Revit. If you have a face-based lighting fixture family with a nested annotation, you will see the annotation in a project’s plan view when you place the lighting fixture in a ceiling, but not if you place it onto a wall. But as it turns out, it was possible after all. Had I “known,” I might not have even tried. Little did I know that it couldn’t be done. “No problem,” I thought, and happily set out to work on it. Back in 2010 I was asked to create a face-based lighting fixture that, when placed on a wall, would display a symbol in plan view.
