Is a callout view considered a dependent view of a small, zoomed-in region of a project?

A callout view in Revit is not considered a dependent view; rather, it is an independent view that focuses on a specific area of a project's larger model. When a callout view is created, it generates a new view that includes more detailed information about the selected region. This view operates independently from the original view - meaning it has its own settings and can be adjusted without affecting the source view.

Dependent views, on the other hand, are linked to a primary view and share certain characteristics, such as view settings and the visibility of elements. Changes made to a dependent view reflect in the main view. Since a callout view does not share this dependency with the original view, it cannot be accurately classified as such.

Understanding this distinction is crucial for effectively managing and utilizing different views in Revit to convey detailed information in architectural design.
