I'm trying to add a Fire Resistance Rating parameter to the outside of a wall tag but I want the arrow to be off the hexagon instead of being centered on the two lines of text. How can I do this?
Here is what I get now, which I cannot have. I want it to look like the one on the left just with the text beside it. Thank you.
Regards Peter.
Add boundary using Invisible lines in the family so that the symbol is on center.
@ToanDN is correct. This is the easiest solution. Basically Revit is drawing a bounding box (here indicated in green) around the content in the tag and then takes the center point to attach the leader line.
So if you have no values next to the hexagon it is going to be OK, otherwise you will have an issue.
So other option except hidden box is to make sure you have nothing next to the hexagon.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Thanks - I got it to work but had to offset slightly to the right, not exactly in the center for some reason. I wanted the arrow to be centered on the hexagon and the text beside it. Like this -
Works fine.

Make the invisible box wider so it covers the text bounding box completely. The bounding box of the text is usually bigger than the text itself, you can turn it on temporarily for the text /label style to see.
ah ha! I was wondering why I had to off centre the invisible rectangle. It's because the text box is actually the extents, if I understand you correctly? Thanks.
Is there anyway that I could add the text so that I could move it around? I would like to use this one family for horizontal and vertical walls and have the text moved so it is where it makes sense????
