I have a 1/16" scale overall plan and I want to "duplicate with detailing" that plan into several 1/8" scale plans with break lines and several 1/4" scale "callouts" for toilet blow-up plans. What I would like to be able to do is to get an exact copy of EVERYTHING on my main plan including detail marks, text, callout symbols, etc. to the larger scale plan and then delete anything that I don't want. Then I want to add extra dimensions, notes, etc. that won't fit on the smaller scale plan. It would be nice if there was an option to "update" the copy in case something in the original plan got changed. So far, callouts disappear, detail marks disappear, but text and detail lines come along and no matter where I crop the copy, they still appear and have to be deleted from the copy of the original plan when I crop to the area being shown. Is there a better way to do this in Revit?

First of all make sure you process is the way you want it. Typically the info on an overall plan is limited to big picture stuff, so you should need duplicate with detailing, you would use the callout tool and create a new view, add the room tags and then view specific info. Most firms rule of thumb is to NOT duplicate information as it leads to user errors. for large plans where you want to note one overall plan but see that info on multiple views of that plan you use the duplicate as dependent view, then as you add notes to any dependent view they will show on the original.

I thought when you duplicated as a dependent view that you were stuck at the same scale.

Duplicate as dependant does have to be the same scale. I dont think there is any other way to have annotations and such be updated as they go through as well. Duplicating as dependant is restricted to being the same scale, and duplicating with detail will not update if annotations are added to the parent view. Call-out wont take annotations with when created. So to get to what you want it seems as all of these miss on one of your criteria. You might want to add this to the wishlist.

Like when you insert linked CAD files. You have the option to update those. Why can't "duplicate with detailing" have the same ability?
