Room Tag Not Showing In View

[ttotin]

Having a weird issue with Room Tags. Have views and worksets for multiple trades, MEP. Tagging rooms from the linked architectural model. The Room Tags are not showing up on our electrical views. On this view if we turn on the mechanical workset, the Room Tags show up. If we try to place new Room Tags on the view, no matter what workset is active. It will not show. I have checked all the usual reasons room tags would not be showing. Phases, Visual Graphics, etc...  Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix it. It seems that for some reason the room tags a jumping on the mechanical workset no matter what, but only on these existing views.

Also, this only happens on existing electrical views. If I created new views I can placed and see Room Tags.

That's strange because Room Tags are annotation elements, and therefore don't belong to a Workset like that; they belong to the View. I've seen instances in which a particular View or group of Views have become corrupted in this way. If this is the case, I would recommend recreating the offending electrical sheets. Redoing that work and replacing the Views on the Sheets would be easier than dealing with such an issue, I believe.

That is what I ended up doing to get it taken care of. But, looking to find what could have caused it and possibly an easier way to fix the issue. If it was on a large project. Redoing 50 views would not be doable.

hello @ttotin,

You are saying "When I created new views I can place and see Room Tags".

Did you try to create a View Template of that New View and assign it to the existing Views?

[ttotin]

As soon as I attach a template that affects what worksets are showing. The Room tags disappear.

The template must be controlling something else because worksets should not affect room tags.

Make sure rooms are on in the architectural link.

[ttotin]

Yes, the rooms are on in the linked model

Hello @ttotin,

Can you share the project with us using a Wetransfer link that you send to my forum email address?

Then I can have a look at it and try to find a solution for you.

Hi @ttotin,

Did you try to set the linked Archi model display setting to Linked view and choose the correct floor plan with the annotation?

[ttotin]

We need to use custom settings to control certain visibility graphics.

I had this same problem and switched to linked view, then back to custom and uncheck all annotations not required (leaving room tags)

Don't ask me why but this seemed to work...

Hello,

I had the same issue, so the problem was that my rooms were in the linked arch model and in template i had the linked view settings for the arch link in custom and the room were not on, (rooms need to be on for room tags) so as i switched on the rooms in the link model it appeared.

Thanks.

I had this issue with multiple linked models. The room would tag but it would not show up. I would get a check visibility settings and although I had everything set correctly, it would not show up. If I turned on hidden items, I could see the room tag, but it would be greyed out just as if it wasn't hidden. I could select it and try to unhide but it would not appear. To fix, I unloaded all links except the one I was viewing. After doing so, the room tag appeared correctly. I believe the issue was like having multiple lines stacked and Revit was taking the top one only. Note Tabbing while selecting had no effect.

I had the same problem the Room Tags had disappeared after linking in all of the drawings and putting them on their worksets. I had created a room finish schedule before the tags disappeared.  So I went to the schedule added worksets to the schedule.  They were sitting on structural not architectural. I clicked on each , changed it to architectural.  They appeared like magic.  Then I removed Worksets from the schedule.

This worked for me as well.  Thank you.

The fix is just as senseless as the problem.

Without being able to investigate the issue in the various models, it's impossible to say for sure but that post suggests that there was something wrong with the visibility settings. Changing it to "By Linked View" probably turned on the room category in the link allowing the room tags to be visible.

I had the problem where my room tags were showing up on 2 out of 3 floors in my model (floor 2 wouldn't let me). I did what you said and changed the link from "by host view" to "by linked view" and I could get them on. Why? As soon as I turned it to "by host view" they shut off. But I have them by host view on the other floors? very weird. THANK YOU!!

Hello,

Check in VV if Rooms are visible.

[pfergusonXQDNU]

Thank you for the response. I was able to deduce the problem. I had multiple Revit model links in the same spot for clients with the same home plan but different site work. The tag was attached to the model on top, even if it was hidden). I had to unload the links that were not visible and then the room tag would tag the correct room associated to the model I was using in the view,

[JBadiali2030]

was already on. thank you for your help.
