Hi
I use Revit 2017.
If I have a typical room type for 100 rooms in a project, is it possible to uapdate one then all the others will be updated automatically at the same time?
I tried the functionality Group to group all the furnitures in the typical room, and copied this group to other 99 rooms.
However Groups has problems with tags, schedules and phases ...
Then I tried the fuctionality Assembly to assemble all the furnitures, but found that the "updating one updates all" concept didnt work for Assembly.
That's say "updating one updates all" and "scehdule" are the most important things for me. How can I make it?
Thank you very much.
Best regards
SINOSLO

Groups are the answer for most of the model elements and they can be used for phases too but you have to really pay attention to hosted elements. The host doesn't always have to be in the group but if a host is not available for an element, it will be dropped in that instance. You also have to pay attention to origin of the group and elements in a group. You don't want an element that is locked to a level and then is always offset from that same level in all other placements. Sometimes we built our rooms in a 'village' workset where only walls would bound the room. Other times we built them all on a specified plan level.
Doors and Rooms can be a problem in groups if they have to be unique and scheduled independently. We sometimes included rooms in our groups for initial placement, then removed them from the group. The rooms stayed and we could then independently edit their properties.
In our hotels, all of the non-accessible room doors had the same identity (all accessible had a different one). You would think that you could then keep them all in the group but this is a problem when editing. Make a single value change and every instance in the file has to be updated. Our solution was to remove those elements from the group in one instance on one floor only. That was the only door in our schedule.

adding to WWHub that in the groups ( am not sure if its a new feature ) but you still can give each item ( Rooms , Doors ) a unique Code even if it is within a group , and i think that will solve your tagging problem if you foccused it to be on the " number " parameter in rooms or the "mark" parameter in doors

My problem with goup doors and rooms is not tagging, it is editing the properties on either of those elements.
I'll bet your office works similar to mine. All of the information about rooms and doors is not available when they are placed in the model. Often, we like to make the edit of the properties of these elements from a schedule view. Not possible - you have to edit the group. And if you need to make more than one item change, good luck. With each field edit, Revit insists on changing every instance in the model. A long and tedious process.
