Tagging in Legends

This is a reminder of some of the limitations that Revit has when you are documenting your projects.

Creating visual Legends in your project is a great way of representing your components, but they do have their limitations. If you want to tag or keynote these elements you find that the only tag or keynote that you can use is the Material Tag or Material Keynote.











The other Tags and Keynotes are visible, but you will not be able to place them in a Legend view.

A workaround for this process is to create a shared material parameter that can be loaded into a Material Tag family and then loaded into your project and assigned to the material of the component. This will bring back some of the functionality of Tagging. I don’t like using workarounds but sometimes it is your only choice…..
