Creating and tagging a schedule from a linked model

sstattelman4GLLM — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 17:11:54 GMT

Is it possible to generate a schedule from a linked model and tag the elements from the linked model with multi category tags.

To give context I have furniture in a model that is linked in to the architectural model which just has walls and doors. I want to label the furniture with a multicategory tag that feeds back to a schedule of the linked model showing exactly what type and label each piece of furniture is. Is this possible at all in revit? Trying to wrap my head around it

A schedule in your host model can include elements in a link, so a furniture category schedule can include the furniture in the linked model and report any Furniture category parameter values that have been used in the furniture families . You can also apply a furniture category tag to furniture elements contained in either your file or a linked model. Assuming all the linked file's furniture is assigned to the furniture category you don't need a multi-category tag or schedule, just a furniture schedule. If they aren't all assigned to furniture then a Multi-category schedule can include furniture but you'll need a way to filter out other category elements and you'll also have far few options for parameters to include because only parameters that all categories use will be available.

Steve I think this makes sense. Currently have the list of furniture / equipment and it is coming from the tags from the linked model. Not sure how I would go about tagging this, but I may just need to take a deeper dive into how tags and multi category tags actually work. Thanks for the help!

Ended up being much easier than I thought. Just added the shared parameter tag to the multicategory tag and was able to tag anything I needed. Thanks!
