Duct and Pipe Tag Color

Hi all,

 

Hopefully I can explain this well enough.. Basically the company I am working for is new with Revit, and I am "the Revit Guru" here as they call me. No one has really used Revit except for me. I've been using Revit for four years at a technical high school so I know some of the in- and outs. 

 

I am creating the company template with all the proper title blocks, systems, tags, etc. loaded and created. I am almost finished with the mechanical side of the project template, and am working on finishing touches. 

 

I am curious as if there is a way to have a duct/pipe tag and elevation automatically match the duct or pipes system color when they are placed? or if I have to individual make a bunch of different tags for every system. I really do not want to have to do that, because of the fact, that is a lot of different family types. 

 

I have been searching everywhere for an answer and have not succeeded. It would be great to have the tags and elevation tags automatically change line color to match the system of the duct? 

 

I swore a place I worked at before was able to do that, but I do not know how.

 

Anyways thank you for reading and for all the help.

Tags don't need to change colors. What is important in the tag is the information they display. Colors in pipes have some importance in distinguishing some systems from others in federated models (models with all disciplines together). But trying to make the tags take the color of the pipes being tagged would be time consuming and will not add anything of value to the construction documents. Do not worry about this, and move on to other more important things in the creation of your template.

Hi,
allow me, with all due respect, to disagree with your opinion. In a duct design, for example, if we have a complex and dense network, with zones where there is a lot of TAG density, for a good perception of the design, of interpretation of the network when plotted, it makes sense to me that the TAG`s assume the color of the duct system it is associated with. I think it would be a good option that would be at the discretion of each one.

Did you find a way to change the tag colors to the system colors?
