Cannot edit Revit Link door tag

[ncoutts]

Hi There!

We currently have a dilemma in our office whereby we cannot edit the door tags in our Revit links. This makes sense to me in so much that I would expect the Type Mark needing to be assigned within the model for it to tag correctly in the host file. However this is a pod design, and has been drawn by the supplier as a separate model file that we have then linked into our host file and copied it across the model (rather than have hundreds of separate links). In retrospect, I suspect that what we should have done is made this a family and inserted it however many times as required. Before we approach the mammoth task of replacing all of our pods with families, is anyone able to tell me if this would be the right approach? Or is there an alternative approach that I don't know about with links? Many thanks in advance!

You can turn off the tags from the links and tag the doors directly in your model. But the value in the Tags are coming from the link and cannot be edited. Only thing you can do is changing the appearance of the tags themselves.

if a pod is simple then create it as a family with nested/shared door/window families is not a bad idea.

I am not understanding the purpose of tagging/scheduling the doors of a premanufactured pod unit that is linked in and placed multiple times in the Project -- not actually being assembled piece-by-piece in the Project.  Additionally, it sounds like your issue is with the Type Mark given to the doors. What does it matter what identity marks/information the Pod doors are given and why would you need to change them?
