I have a number of arrayed families that we want to display the counts for on the plan. For the life of me I can not figure out a way to display this. It's easy enough to create a schedule and sort/group by parameter (each array is assigned a different "classification" parameter, but we want to show the count for each array on the plan itself. We can do this by a simple text box, but the arrays are going to be changing and we would like to have a parameter that updates with the array. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Group each array using the assembly tool. This way revit wil se all elements of the array as a single element
Forget what i said. Now i understood that you want to cout the element for every array and not the array itself.
Yes, the assembly tool is greyed out when i select the array.
Essentially what I want to happen is similar to how you can select a temporary dimension and make it permanent. When you select the array, a line appears with the total number of objects in blue, I want that number to show up all the time on each array, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make this permanently visible like with dimensions.
Hope that is more clear, having trouble describing it.
I guess the best you can do is to create a schedule for the "group models" category. Then group by type.
Hi,
In the Project you could do something with dimension and global reporting parameter and generic annotation..
But it would require a new parameter for each different array.
Can you make the array in a Family, with you're families as shared nested families, that would be easy enough?
Could you post a image of the Array'd family.
Otherwise only by creating a Addin (or Dynamo)
The Array line seems to be a Element with a count field, interesting.

This is exactly what I am looking for, but how did you make this happen?
If it helps, the objects I am arraying are custom parking stall families.
In this case, the Array is a Line-Based Family. The Tag is reporting the Number of Arrayed Components through a Shared Parameter.
Parking Stall Family nested and Arrayed in a Line-Based Family...
Maybe this will help. Open the "Parking Stall Array" Family in this RVT.
Make sure you make the Parking Space a Shared Family before you nest it -- for accurate QTO's in Project.
You need 1) a family that repeats an item of a certain category, where the number of items is a shared parameter. Then you need 2) a tag that tags elements of that category and that reads that shared parameter. Pretty much what @barthbradley already said (so please mark his reply as a solution). I just want to add some pictures to illustrate the workflow:
1)
2)
3)
Thanks to both of you. I think i have found the cause of my confusion and the answer to get what I want...just a little jumping through hoops to make it work with a parking space family. Thanks again.
