Hi, we are working on a hospital project and authorities want to see the number of the patient beds on projects. Is there any way to place a label in family which shows the number provided by me or revit itself? as far as ı know model families does not support writeable text in family plans but i will be glad if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

example attached below.

Open the family in the family editor and create a shared text parameter and call it say "Bed Number". Save the Shared parameter text file to your office server so everyone can access it when they open the model.

Load the family back into the model and make sure the shared parameter file is loaded too.

Now create a tag using the shared parameter "Bed Number" parameter from the furniture category ( I assume your bed family was created as this type of category). Load tag into project.

Now on a plan with your revised beds tag all beds using this new tag and go around and number the beds one by one. The "bed Number" parameter will now be able  to be scheduled and will forever be asscoaited with each specific bed and taggable.
