Unit Tagging in Revit

[jegP7L8D]

Hi,

Would like to share this with Revit Developer. Hoping to have an option to tag the "UNITS" in the overall plan by not using the room tags. Let's say, have 10 units in one level plan. Unit A1, A2......A10, currently Revit won't allow us to tag this unit in general tagging. The only option is to name the Units in textnote which is not ideal. Another option currently available is to disable the room bounding of the walls to tag as one whole unit using room tag which is not a good option also since we would like to maintain the individual room tags in enlarged plans of each units. 

Hopefully, the next version will give us an option to tag the units and maintain the room bounding of walls. and at the same times unit tag can calculate the perimeter area of the Unit.  

Thank you.

Best Regars,

Jeg

You can either combine Rooms and Areas or simply use Spaces and Zone...You can tag a Zone which includes more than one space 

If you insist on having the same feature for rooms...you can try your luck and post it on the Ideas forum (Follow the Link Below)

Thank you.

I'm good with Zones and Spaces... replicating the same function is more or less redundant

Do you have a video link maybe from youtube or different video site that shows on how to to it ? Tried the space and zoning option but still it limits me to room bounding inside Unit.

You place Spaces

You Add Spaces to a Zone

Thank you so much for this. I feel like this is more effective way of showing the unit tag in an overall plan.

Do you have any idea on how to combine the gross and net area in one schedule? or maybe try to link them so we can add a formula between them?

Thank you.

Best regards,

I am afraid I do not understand the question...is this still about tagging or are you talking about area schedules and area plans?

If the latte then please start a new thread/post

[jEg2x-2023]

Sorry, to jump into a different topic. I was referring to area schedules, rentable and gross. Wondering if you know on how to combine them in one schedule table. Or maybe link them. 

Thank you.

The short answer is no; not in a straight forward way no there isn't.

There are several workarounds though...Do you have a schedule format in mind?

[jegP7L8D]

I am trying to formulate heated area(rentable) unheated area, and total area(gross area)

@jEg2x-2023 

Well first you need to use the same Area Type schedule ...

1. Example below I used the rentable area plans for both Net and Gross
2. I placed the Gross Floor Area Boundaries on the Top Of slab Level
3. Placed the area boundaries for rentable offices on the FFL Level
4. Added 4 Parameters
   • Level Number (Where both L1 FFL and L1 TOS receive the value of L1) - Used to filter
   • Rentable (Yes/No)
   • Heated (Yes/No)
   • Area Type (A calculated value to determine Area Name Gross vs Net Cold vs Net Warm)
     • if(and(Rentable Area, Heated), "Net Rentable - Heated", if(and(Rentable Area, not(Heated)), "Net Rentable - Cold", "Gross Floor Area"))

With check/uncheck Itemize every Instance it looks like below...You can also transpose it so all stand in the same row

Wow, I think this will solve my problem. will try this one now. Thank you so much @RDAOU
