- Legends

"Legends
Legends...place graphic representations of elements in the model to explain the symbology used in the project. Examples...key to symbols in a site plan; typical wall, door, or window types used in a project; or demolition notes on a title block. ...legends are used for views you want to have appear on multiple sheets. ...2D elements derived from the components used in your project. Elements in a legend have no effect on scheduling quantities of elements. ...adding a door symbol to a legend view will not increase the number of instances of that door in the overall project and thus won’t be reflected in the schedule of the door totals.
To create a legend view...click the View tab. On the Create panel, click the Legends button and select Legend. ...then give the legend view a name and associated scale, and you will be presented with an empty view window. To start creating the legend and add content to this view, go to the Annotate tab, and under the Detail panel, click the Component button. Then select Legend Components and start generating the legend.

NOTE: "Legends are the only view type in Revit that can be placed on multiple sheets."
