Programming a Tag?

Hello again my Revit Brethren,

So I'm inquiring about what is probably impossible. As a lot of what I try seems to be. I'm trying to customize the ceiling height tag, or even create a new one. Is there anyway to have a label, text, anything that can read the information of the label and give me another value? Basically I want a ceiling height tag that gives me a simple A,B,C,D,etc instead of the actual height. I could achieve this with if sytax and my standard ceiling heights, but I just can't seem to come up with a way to create this.

It is possible if you are using Revit 2017.

Is there anyway for a label to run off off of a family parameter that's reading another label?

In Revit 2017 you can have label as a formula driven by other parameters,
such as translate different ceiling heights to different codes.

I keep coming across things that make me think I can find a work around to make this possible in '16. Guess I'm stuck to using simple annotation and praying nothing changes.

Sorry for the somewhat late reply.   If you are concerned about the wrong code being entered manually and/or ceiling heights changing at a later time without the code being updated, you may want to consider semi-automating the process using Dynamo.  A relatively simple Dynamo graph could be created that, when run, would grab all of your ceiling objects, read the ceiling height value, determine the appropriate letter code for that height, and then push that letter code back onto a text parameter attached to the ceiling.  The ceiling tag would then be set up to display that text parameter.

 

Run the graph just before you print any of your ceiling views/sheets, to make certain that the ceiling heights and letter codes are coordinated.

I've never used Dynamo but i'll look into this, Thanks!

I'm finally upgrading to '18 Revit and I'm not finding the ability within a tag to use a label within a formula. Can you attach the family your referencing so I can reverse engineer it?
