Tag displaced elements.

Tag displaced elements.

I want to draw attention to the fact that several versions of Autodesk Revit tool we have "Displace Elements". This tool would be very useful for engineers to create isometric views of piping systems, cable trays, air ducts, etc., but we cannot tag displaced elements!
Now we just place on a sheet several 3D views.

There is a workaround. Add a second object to the displacement set, remove the first object from the displacement set, tag the first object, add it back to the displacement set and remove the second object from the set.

 

It's a bit cumbersome but it works.

In isometric views of engineering systems we have hundreds of label elements. It is very cumbersome. We even made a separate macros for this task, but with them is not very convenient.

Блин, митярома, используй инструмент "Маркировать всё"! Сколько же вы времени и сил убили..

 

Just use Tag all man

Это очень неудобно, нелогично и приводит к ошибкам. На больших системах трудно найти элемент к которому относится марка. Не вижу причин не добавлять этот функционал.

 

This is very inconvenient, illogical and leads to errors. In larger systems, it is difficult to find an element to which the mark. I see no reason not to add this functionality.

Ок. Согласен, но, всё же, проблема не в том, что смещенные эл-ты не маркируются, а в том, что выноска ставится криво

 

I think the problem is in leaders. We need improving leader positioning

dermeiko, попробуй поставить на трубопроводе находящемся в наборе смещения одновременно отметку низа трубы  с соответствующей графикой и за одно диаметр и имя системы.

And time goes by.... Autodesk, are you asleep? If you listened to your MEP contributors, it would be good! It seems to me that for us too, the software is not free...

Architect here, just running into this. So, without the ability to tag displaced elements, displaced views are just for pretty pictures?

Architect here too and with the same problem. As my friend above said, displaced views are just for pretty pictures. Having to use a text to "tag" those elements it's not BIM'ish. I'm not a programmer but this seems an easy thing to solve.
