Property Beacon Family

Hi everyone, just a quick one.

 

I need to make a family for a property beacon on my site plan. I'm not sure if that's what they are called internationally, but i'm referring to one of these....

This only needs to be visible in 2D views so my system for doing it is to great a generic annotation family (see attached) and instead of creating a label inside I wanted to make the family taggable so that i can control the position of the beacon numbers on the drawing.

 

But when i try to tag the family in the project environment it wont let me tag a generic annotation family. 

 

Can anyone else suggest another way of achieving that?

 

Appreciated.

You cannot tag a family of annotations, it is redundant.
To do what you want, it would be better to make a family of sacrifices, that is, take a generic model, create your 2d beacon, then create a tag for the generic model looking for the Mark.

I put the families attached to modify as you wish.

I would recommend changing the category of the family to something more pertinent, like Site. then create a tag for that category to display what you need to see in the tag.

Hi unfortunately i am on Revit 2019 so I am unable to open your files.

 

When I experiment with your proposal though I encounter a few problems.

 

Because we are using a generic model family we are now dealing with a 3D hosted object which floats somewhere on the z axis and can be obscured by other objects....

Also now the units (size) are relative to the view scale which means that the beacons on different site plans will not have consistant sizing depending on their scale.

You can embedded generic tag to model family (see attached). To make the tag show in model family, I would add an invisible model line at elevation and make it flex so you can fool revit to think this object is very tall and the tag won't get obscure. when you placed them along with other objects.

But then the tag text is stationary isnt it?

It is embedded into the family so the tag will appear in multiple views.

I see that youve saved it as a site family and now it can be tagged which is good.

 

However when I try to tag it i get the prompt "there is no tag loaded for site". I dont know however see any tags in the Revit library for site. Am I missing something?

Don't know what's the best practise for this type of thing, but you could create an actual site element/metric site family hosted on your topography which is not shown in the 3d views, just on plan view with a (masking) annotation or detail family in it i.e. edit: ow, actually what @syman2000 did above I think.

For the tag itself you can just create/use a generic tag family and then switch its category to site tag.

You can use those tag and then change the category to site. However my plan to is embedded tag into the family so you don't have to go thru every level and tag those corner. Once you start to have 50+ levels, tagging those object becomes a chore. So when you embedded the tag into the family, it virtually cuts down your tagging.
