Tagging more than one element of the same type with one tag

Tagging more than one element of the same type with one tag

Large projects often have many objects of the exact same type distributed across a plan layout. To declutter the layout it is very helpful to tag more than one object with one tag only.

We have placed a tag for any individual elements whereas we can't show the same category elements by a multiple leader tag family. If this features will come in next release it will help us who working in Revit annotation.

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you considered what would happen if one wall changes to a different type?

Leader exclude from tag's and replace by single same type of tag with warning.

 

Currently I use copy/paste to same place to imitate multiple leader tag, but such tag require manual control of changes.

If you are tagging multiple items with one tag with multiple leaders, if one of the items changes, that leader would be removed. Same as if you deleted that object, the leader would disappear.  I also like YarUnderoaker's idea that if that item changes a new tag would take the leader's place.  When you change the object type, a dialog could appear that would say, "this affects xx tags in place" and give you a "SHOW" option so you could go to the first occurrence, make the positioning adjustments, then the next, and so on.  You'd want the "SHOW" button to stay on the screen so you could make the changes and then go to the next one also. 

 

Just my thoughts.

The ability to tag an element using a leader. Then add more leaders from the same tag that point to similar elements with the same data being displayed by the tag. If one or more of these elements have data that is not common to the rest, than the tag would display a question mark instead of the original data value.

it will be good if we can Add Multiple Arrows to in one tag Family to represents similar items with one tag and Multiple Arrows!

same as Text with Multiple Option

This would be a very helpful feature.  Right now we often carefully stack tags to produce the effect, but it takes extra management, and it's hard to see (particularly with material tags) if the information has become inconsistent. Revit schedules already have a method do deal with rows (all instances not shown) with different information - the field shows as blank.  The same method could be used for tags, or even replacing text parameters with a more obvious "ERROR" warning.

It would also be nice to have the option of a counter in the tag for each added leader, see imageSingle Tag with Multiple Arrow_1.png

Will definitely be very helpful when organizing the view. 

With this we can have much clearer views.

... and when the parameter shown in the tag changes (it's not consistent anymore across the tagged elements) then the tag will show the usual question mark, and a warning will be created for the elements and the tag.

 

Yes?
