Hey everyone, I am using Revit 2017.2 and trying to make a tag that shows the insulation thickness. But I hate having pipe insulation shown in the drawing because it makes it more cluttered especially when I send it to guys in the field. Is it possible to make a tag the show the insulation thickness for pipes with the insulation turned off in the VG's? Also, I am spooling these for prefab and if I turn on pipe insulation it makes my filter in my spool pieces worthless because it shows all the insulation for the piping all around my spool piece. Currently I am making a text box with multiple leaders pointing to each pipe and manually writing in the insulation sizes; looking for a quicker way.
This is what it looks like currently adding the tag manually, which looks fine but is very time consuming.
I would like to be able to have automatic insulation tags (tag by category) by just clicking on the pipe and having it display the insulation size for the pipe without manually entering it every time.
Unfortunately, as you can see, if I turn the insulation on then all of the insulation shows up. Even if I spooled the insulation along with the pipe and had the filter applied so it would hide the rest of it I would have to manually change the VG's on every viewport on every sheet to hide the insulation, and when I do that it'll hide the insulation tags too.
Is there a way to get insulation tags to show up by tagging the pipe and having the insulation hidden? If so can someone please provide step-by-step instructions, link to a YouTube video, or a screencast showing how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help!
