Roof Tag

[yes_and_no]

I asked similar Q before without success. Anyway, this is the roof Tag that reports the roof area, calculates to no. of vents in the schedule. The text is typical membranes.

The roof slope in the (?) preferably instant text input due to one roof may have more than one slope. I made a label as text in tag family, but won't be able to click/

 

enter the value. What am I missing ?

Make the label with label in the tag family. 

...did you mean you loaded a GA family into the Tag Family? If so, did you associate its Label Parameter to a Family Types Parameter?  

I think you did this:

When you should have done this:

[ToanDN]

- create labels in the tag family and add text or multi-line text shared parameters to the labels

- add the same shared parameters to your project as Instance parameters and assign them to Roofs category

I can get to type in the slope now.

But the "instant" part is not working. Enter 3/12 in one tag will change all tags of same roof to 3/12, whenarea I wanted 3/12 in one span and 4/12 in other span, as shown.

Yes, that why I said to do it this way (ABC):

That other way is no good for this.  

...but you also need to follow @ToanDN 's suggestions. That is, you need to make a Project Parameter using the exact same Shared Parameter and assign it to whatever Category you are tagging.

All tags on one same roof are always identical. You need to split the roof to different parts then you can tell one tag to say 3/12 and another 4/12.  Since the information are manually typed in, why don't you just use a generic annotation instead of tag?  That way you can type whatever you want.
