Tracing a view

- [Instructor] In this chapter, I have kind of a unique exercise. I'm going to create a custom annotation family that we're going to use to represent a key plan for a large project. So if you've ever worked on a large project where the floor plan doesn't fit on one sheet, then what you have to do is actually start breaking up the floor plan into multiple smaller plans, and then match line them together. And I've got a really simple example of that here onscreen. So if we look at the floor plan view, I've got a level one floor plan. That level one floor plan is broken into five zones. These are dependent views. And if I open up that view and show it to you, I've kept the geometry really simple here, I just have the perimeter of this theoretical building here. And then surrounding that, I've created these five zones, that if you just sort of hover over them, each one of these is a dependent view. There's also these match…
