Door Tag

[Anonymous]

I created my door tag from scratch, in doing so , when adding the "mark" parameter I entered the sample value for it (101) as I also did for the dimension parameters. However when i place the tag on my doors , the tag doesn't follow my mark value sample .It does follow the dimension samples but no the mark one (it calls doors as 1 for example , not 101) . Has anybody encountered this issue before? What am I doing wrong here? How do i solve i? I'd really appreciate it if somebody can help me. This is driving me crazy.

Thanks,

Are you saying that you entered "101" as value for the label in the Tag Family?   That doesn't have anything to do with formatting.  You could use Prefix or Suffix though.  

...of course, it would only work for first 9 rooms.

The sample value in the family label has nothing to do with the actual Mark of each door in the project.  The sample is only for you to see how the label looks/fits in the tag in the family.

To enter the Door Mark in project, select a Door and enter a value, e.g. 101.  Or, click on the middle of the Tag to highlight the label and enter.

Next time you start a project and you are about to start placing doors...Place the First door and set the start number straight after (repeat per level)...

Of course when you switch back from level 3 to level 1 and place new doors thereafter, the numbering will continue from where you left on level 3...So yeah you have to re-set the number for new doors but at least you got part of the work done (till you start using dynamo then you do not need to worry about the numbering)

since your using the Mark for the tag, the "Sample Value" does not function in this case. it will automatically be filled in on placement. as @RDAOU suggested, place your first door and edit the mark. the next one should increase sequentially.

Thank you. I see that setting the number for the doors on "identify Data" is the way to make sure doors will be labeled as desired.
