Material tagging

[Julie.Amoncio]

Anyone please need help...!

I'm doing a connection materials from scratch, as per our engineer design.

And wanting to do my material schedule, I need to tag each materials but doesn't allow me.

It says there is no tag loaded Structural connections. So I open Libraries then Annotation then structural to load.

I choose M_plate Tag but message below pop up... Anyone knows why and what did i missed why not working?

Thank you so much in advance for your help really appreciated...

Why not use Material Tag? (See GIF Below)

If you want to tag the material through a category tag, you will need to do the following:

• Make sure the material in the connection family is a share parameter
• start new generic annotation tag
• Add a new label and add the shared parameter for the material
• Load the tag to the project and tag on the structural connections

The message indicates the solution. Load a Generic Model Tag.  Or you could change the Category of the Tag you are trying to Load before using it in the Project.
