Tagging wall dimensions and automatic description

[Marie.j03]

Hi all. I have two questions regardings walls

1. I am trying to tag the dimensions of the wall so I edit the tag family in the project but in the list I do not have any dimesnions parameters

2. My second question is about the wall description. Is there a way to have an automatic description of the wall or I have to type it in always?

What tag are you using 🤔... make sure it is a Wall Tag

For the description...you can try out Keynotes. It is simple and easy and you can create a custome database for all elements not just wall. Yeah you need to set it up first then it becomes automatic

thanks you are right it was a multi tag category

I know keynote. I thought there was a description parameter which can detect info from the the wall

No there isn't... but you can do that either by using dynamo or a plug-in. There are several which add this feature
