Filled region area tag

• Can someone help teaching me how to step by step creating a filled region area-tag ? Thx.

you just need to create a shared parameter for filled region. only then you can create a tag.

Are you meaning an Area Color Scheme?

The Area parameter of a filled/masking region is not exposed to be tagged even though you can see the value in its properties.  There are many other elements can be tagged out of the box:  Areas, Rooms, Spaces, Zones, Pads, Floors, Ceilings, Roofs, Conceptual Mass...

If you insist on showing Area in a Detail Item tag, then you will need to learn Dynamo.

Nope, just tagging regular filled region for many reasons...

I hear you.
What if I step back the demand and use schedule instead, wd it be possible
?

Same answer.  You will need to use Dynamo to pull the Area value.

Rectangular-shaped?  

In-Place or Loadable Filled Regions that are "stretchable" in the x and y direction.  x and y associated to a shared parameters. These same x and y shared parameters are loaded into tag family. Tag family uses Calculated Parameter to report Area from these 2 shared parameters.  x*y=Area.

Here is an example of Dynamo driven Filled Region Area tag.

Unfortunately, they are not simple rectangles. Anyway, I made tag that
reports filled region with type-in area, not ideal, but ok. Still less work
than editing a floor or mass boundaries.
