Tag Model Groups

Tag Model Groups

It is required in many cases to tag Model Groups. So Model Groups' tags will be a great add.

So we can add to schedules but cant show tags.

Defiantly need to add.

Yeah. It would be great if Autodesk would fully implement an idea. Seems that they are just looking at these ideas and doing exactly what the user is requesting without any extra thought put into them. If you can schedule and add parameters to something, seems like it would be useful to also tag that thing. Consistency all around is helpful. We may be giving Autodesk the free ideas to make their software better, but I'd at hope they could work out the kinks and properly implement it in the actual software.

 

Sorry. Just ranting. Either way, this one is a needed addition to the other new group features introduced in 2018.

Definitely need this. There's instances where we need to group items and tag a whole group rather than what's in the group. For example projects with many of the same group, but variations of what's happening in the group. So we need to multiple group types of say small sections of curtain walls and need to be able to tag in plan. 

 

Regardless of this explanation being clear, please just make that possible. it would be very beneficial and make documenting in revit easier and ideal for coordination.

In the past Model Groups were highly unstable and we would have issues with items in each group randomly losing their connection to the host whether that be a reference level, reference plane, or adjacent family within the model group. As such we have avoided using them whenever possible because they are so unpredictable. Further, mirroring a model group never works. As mentioned above with scheduling of items in each model group, it would be ideal to have the option of setting a different workset for each family within the group rather than inheriting from whatever workset the model group is on. Yes, keep inheritence of the workset by default but allow the option to override on a per-item basis. Because we can't do this we are forced to 'explode' the model groups before completing Design Development where it would save a tremendous amount of update time if we could maintain the model groups throughout the life of the project.

Tags for detail groups, please!

Me dedico a realizar planos estructurales y los cientes a los que le trabajo me solicitan que agrupe las columnas en una sola pieza vertical, sin importar en número de secciones que tenga en la altura. Por lo que cada cambio de sección y/o altura me genera un nuevo grupo de columna, por ejemplo:

Columna C-1 sección de acero cuadrada de nivel N1 a nivel N10

Columna C-2 sección de acero Tipo W de nivel N1 a nivel N10

Columna C-3 Columa de acero tipo cuadrada de nivel N1 a nivel N5 y sección de acero tipo W de nivel N5 a nivel N10  

Por lo que las agrupo por grupos y debo colocarlas en un plano con su nombre de grupo y debo realizarlo manualmente. y por se pierde la filosofia BIM.

Otro ejemplo claro es en la agrupación de habitaciones de un hotel, (tipo King, tipo Queen, etc) y no puede etiquetarse asi que debe realizarse ocn un texto común.

De poco sirve una herramienta en Revit si al final no puede etiquetarse para su posterior documentación, tal es el ejemplo de la extensión "Steel Connections", cosa que resolvieron en revit 2019, muchas gracias por esto, ahora ¡sólo falta el etiquetado de grupos porfavor!

Please add.  Adding group parameters is not useful if they can't be tagged, particularly for multifamily projects.

This would be most useful. OR you can also make assemblies more receptive of changes, so if we have several copies of the same assembly, they would replicate changes made to one copy

Hello All,

 

We had internally a discussion with our Specifier Group (A/E Specs Writers) and all of us would like to see in the future Detail Group Tag associated to keynoting. Let's say we have those legacy details or typical details without Revit detail components placed in drafting views of a typical partition section detail and our specifiers want to see it keynoted as  is - GYP. Board Partition. And so forth every time we have that detail group within a project we will be able to keynote/tag it the same way like any other type element in the project. Same for assemblies using detail components. FYI our Specifiers are all Revit savvy users in we work in a highly collaborative environment. 
Revit 2019.1.0.112
Tag groups (Detail and Model) will be a first step...
Thanks for listening Deskers

Hi guys.

 

i´d like to say that tag model groups will be good, and also could quantified them as a family category or like sheet or views.

 

keep thinking about the future great job!

We all need this, like yesterday.

 

I say this time after time, Autodesk appear to not have a solid grasp on product development and planning a solid and useful road map. They are trying to please everyone by cherry picking, completely arbitrarily as far as I can tell from the outside, random features that actually only benefit a few individuals. I really expect stronger and better leadership in this space.
