Change the Auto Mark behaviour

Currently the Mark value is automatically generated when you place a family. The value is based on the value of the previous item placed.

This works OK in a testing environment where you place items of one type at a time, but it the non-linear creation of a model it doesn't work. e.g. if you place an Air Handling unit, & assign it a Mark value of AHU01 you then start placing grilles, unless you're VERY disciplined they'll have a Mark value of AHU02...etc.

Also if you copy a grille that has the Mark value of GRILLE01, but the last item you placed was an AHU with a value of AHU01 the new copied grille would have a mark value of AHU02. which is obviously wrong,  unless the user spots it you could copy dozens of grilles!

 

Could the auto generation of the Mark value either be turned off, or could it be based on the value of the Type Mark?
