Space tag with calculated information from the space and air terminals in said space

[Joakim_Intec_SE]

Hello!

I'm looking for a way to present certain information in space tags. They would look something like this:

Where the "2x" would be the number of TD101-250 in the space and where TD101-250 is a combination of the name of the terminals name (Property called MC User Code) and the connection size of the terminal (Property called MC Connection Size). The 250/250 is simply   "Actual supply airflow" and "Acutal return airflow"

 I've managed to list the properties like I would want them in a schedule, see image below. I'm thinking that you could somehow transfer said information to a, or several, custom properties for the space. I'm unsure how to go about this, presumably  some kind of dynamo script is necessary. Has anyone solved this kind of problem and would be willing to share how they did it?

count is not a taggable parameter to the best of my knowledge.

• I would suggest exporting this schedule to EXCEL via DiRoots Sheet Link
• VLOOKUP table to find the information you want and stuff it into some custom parameters
• Concatenate command might be your friend
• Sheet Link to import the shared parameter information back in associated to the Spaces
• Your Tag will need to have these parameters

I worry about your tag when you have different sets of information. You may have need of several Rows in this tag and different amounts of Rows for different spaces based on the information.

Dynamo could be used but this feels more like an EXCEL solution to me.

Another solution would be to use a schedule as tag. You could filter this space schedule to only show one space. Put that schedule on the sheet over the space. Bam you got your space info over your space.

i used an embedded schedule but i think an Air Terminal Schedule filtered per Space Number would work really well too. I used Combine Parameters field to get the COUNT and MC Unit columns.

This is probably the most elegant solution for small projects. I'm terrified to see the project browser for a large project (though I suppose you can set up Browser Organization to organize the hundred+ space schedules for Air Terminal tagging into a single tab that doesn't get opened).

Dynamo can match the DiRoots workflow by collecting the air terminals in the room and pulling the count+family type name into a Multiline Text parameter for tagging, but I think the DiRoots/Excel workflow would be more familiar to work with.
