Can you rotate a wall tag in a full circle using the spacebar? (Revit 23-25)

I am trying to edit a wall tag so that when you press the spacebar it will rotate the pointy side of the tag from 0 to 90 to 180 to 270 to 0 degrees. Right now, pressing the spacebar will rotate it just between 0 and 90 (see pics below). Is this possible to do? I'm currently using Revit 23/24/25. 

 

Attached is my current wall tag family (in Revit 25). Thanks for your help!

You won't get the spacebar result you're after. Experiment with the Rotate with Component option in the Family to see if you can get a result you can live with. I suspect you want the tag to point at the wall all the time. I can get close to that but the side the tag wants to go on is biased too. The tag could have two types, arrow left and arrow right and you could place one or the other to be able to get the tag pointing in the right direction for some walls.

That's what I was afraid of 😕 I think in the absence of that, your idea is the best strategy!
