Your Air Terminal Tag is incorrect.  It is trying to read the air flow from a property set definiton named Portata which doesnt exist.  It should instead read the FlowRate property set definition.

 

You can verify this yourself by opening up the Aecb_Mechanical_Air_Terminal_Device_Tag block and view the tag.  You can change the name of the property set here by changing Portata to FlowRate.

 

p.s.  I did this myself in the drawing you provided and it worked fine.

Can you capture the step with a video or send me the drawing?

It's possible to have the Label with only 2 position of information, the third with the dimension of dutc i don't need.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

You can approach this two ways.  You can edit the block again and remove the part of the label that you do not need or you can create a new label from scratch.  Below is a link to a video of a webinar series that shows how to create a tags and labels.  That particular video is for a pipe tag and label.

The duct video of the series should be available next week.

 

Here is a link to a blog series on how to create a duct tag.  You should be able to modify the directions to work with the air terminal.

 

 

p.s.  I used camtasia to create the video above.  I produced it as a gif so it could be easily shown inside the post.

Hello,

 

it's a way to have in the Label the name of the Layer?
