This article offers a practical guide on marking sprinklers, adding annotations to building sections, and moving these sections onto a specified sheet. It further discusses the importance of finalizing and cleaning up the project for a comprehensive completion.
Key Insights

- It advises on the process of moving these sections onto a specific sheet, FP7 in this case, and how to adjust the scale to suit the template view.
- The final step involves revising and cleaning up the project, ensuring that all sheets are completed effectively and appropriately.

All right, a few additional items. We can label some of our mains. There it is.
Let’s copy this label. Add a leader and label it: 3" MAIN. Now we can begin tagging some of our sprinklers.
Label these as SSPs. We can also denote that this line goes up to the second floor with a note: MAIN TO LEVEL 2. Okay, let’s call out a typical armover and label it: 1" ARMOVER ASSEMBLY – TYPICAL. Move the tag as needed.
That’s looking good. Let’s go ahead and add a few more annotations to Building Section 3, showing the uprights in the gym. Go to the Text tool with leader, point to the sprinkler, and label it: SSU – TYPICAL. Also annotate the line: MAIN TO GYM PIPING.
All right, that looks good. Let’s go ahead and place these views on our FP7 sheet. Go to FP7 – Building Sections, and locate the sections in the Project Browser.

Since they’re under the Fire Protection subdiscipline, you’ll find them grouped accordingly. Drag Section 1 onto the sheet.
It will appear slightly too large, so let’s adjust the scale. We can’t change it directly in the view because it’s controlled by a view template. Open the view template settings and change the scale to 3/32" = 1'-0". That looks better.
Now bring in Section 2.
All right, and now Section 3—they should align nicely on the sheet. Everything is looking good so far. We’ve now completed all of our sheets.
The final step is to do a little bit of cleanup and one final check to ensure everything is in order. Once that’s done, our fire protection project will be complete.
