Add editable text label to Material Tag

Hi all,

 

I have a Material tag based on Material Mark, i'd like to add an instance text parameter at the bottom of it in order to type the profile size manually, for instance, if i have two aluminum freeze boards which both of them have the same material and mark, but the profile size is different, so i'd like to be able to tag it and modify the text part.

 

right now i used shared parameters but it's not instance and it's type! so when i change one, the other one changes.

any ideas?

Not with Material Tags. You need to use category or multi-category tags.

A material tag does read information from the material applied.

Therefore it would make sense to have a separate tag (leader off) which extracts information size.

Another approach would be to use Parts Tags.  Your Tag could read both in-built Mark and Comments Instance Parameters.

Interesting approach--would this require breaking any assemblies being tagged in this way into Parts, or could it work without making things into Parts.  I'm using this material tag (and desired instance-based parameter extra text, eg "MTL-1  Parapet" (with MTL-1 being a Material: Mark tag, and "Parapet" being an instance-based fill-in-the-blank typed text note)?

Right now, my team has had to resort to a simple Material: Mark tag, and then a separate simple text note (no leader) next to it, but sadly there isn't even a way to align these two annotations--we have to zoom way in and eyeball/ overlap the text on the tag to line up, then shift to the side....not a very efficient workflow.....there has to be a better way (and I realize Keynotes are the way, but my relatively-new-to-Revit team is just not ready for that....).
