How to place Apartment Tags

stevie_kelly — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 10:38:25 GMT

Is there a way I can tag apartments in floorplans and sections? I know how to do a colour scheme, but I want Revit to recognize the apartment name/number/area on the floor plans and sections.

create a view in a different phase.

create the (using room separation lines) the Apartment boundaries

treat the whole apartment as a room.

the apartments are only seen in the views of that Phase

the rooms are created in a later Phase

Thanks @kadmonkee, this is a good solution.

If your Rooms already have Apartment parameter (judging by your comment on Color scheme), then create a new Room tag type that shows Apartment name and use place it for one room in the middle of each Apartment. Make they Bold and big so they stand out.

@ToanDN I just tried it that way too and it works well. Thanks!

Hi, I too want to place an "Apartment Tag" in the centre of an apartment in a normal floor plan, that marks

the Apartment number and displays the total area of all the rooms. (I don't want to use area plans).

I have a "department" field in all room tags and I am naming each rooms "department" based on the apartment number. in a schedule I can show the total area of that apartment.

How do I make a tag that picks up the "department" of the room I am placing the tag on and displays the total area of the department?

A couple of ways:
- Create a Room schedule and filter/group by Apartment number, format it to look like a tag and place it on sheet.
- Use Spaces and Zones: Spaces for Rooms and A Zone of several Spaces for Apartment, the use a Zone tag.

Hi I would prefer to place it onto a plan view, so it updates everytime I change a room size. area / space plans don't work as I just want to calculate the total net area without the area of the walls.

in a schedule I can calculate the total area of that department, how do I get this calculated parameter into a

room tag that I can place on a plan view?
