Wall Tag with Fire Rating (controlled by visibility parameters)

[mas_2]

Is there any way I can create a wall tag that conveys the fire rating of the wall? Our offices CAD standard was to use a standard diamond wall tag with filled triangles at the corners to imply the rating, e.g. 2 filled triangles for 2HR rating, etc... 

Is there anyway to do this in Revit 2017? One of the out of the box Wall category parameters is 'Fire Rating'. Is there a way I can somehow take that value and create a visibility parameters?

You can add that ootb fire rating parameter as a label, but you can't tie it to the visibility parameters that control what shows for what rating in the tag.  It would be better to create multiple tag types in the tag family and then pick the corresponding tag for the appropriate wall.

If you want to add the ootb fire rating label and control that with a visibility parameter it would be an easy way to make sure you are using the right tag since the label would pull the type value of the fire rating from the wall.

You could also add a shared parameter named FIRE RATING if you want it to be instance based rather than type based and follow the same principle as above.

I attached the family and example project as described above...I have both the ootb and the shared parameter in this example...you would not need both.

Yes you can do it in Revit 2017.
