What type of view should be used to create a detail using detail components that is independent of the building model?

A drafting view is the correct choice for creating a detail using detail components that is independent of the building model. Drafting views in Revit are specifically designed for creating 2D drawings that do not interact with the 3D model. This means that any components, annotations, or details placed in a drafting view are treated purely as 2D elements and are not reliant on the underlying model geometry.

This capability allows architects and designers to create intricate detail drawings, notes, and diagrams without the constraints of model elements or coordinates. The flexibility of a drafting view ensures that you can design your details as needed, without worrying about how they relate to the three-dimensional building components.

Other view types, such as 3D views, callout views, and section views, are all driven by the building model. They include references to model elements, which means they cannot provide the same level of independence that a drafting view can. Therefore, selecting a drafting view is ideal for detailed work that needs to stand alone, showcasing details without interference from the overall model.
