Hi,

I'm currently setting up my custom door and window tags, and I would appriciate some advice on where to store inforamtion about the project.

Essentally, my project is building number 8 or a larger project. I would like all references, door marks, window marks, room marks etc to be prefixed by the building number.

Do my door mark would be:

8/G-015.

Which would be building 8, G for Ground Floor and door 15.

Where is the best way of storing the building number - I guess this would be a shared parameter? But what catagory would I use?

Also, whats the best way of telling Revit that all the ground floor doors have G in the number and first floor doors have F - without manually writing this?

I guess at a simple level I could do all of this manually, but it would be good for Revit to add the some bits automatically.

Cheers!

Category ?  Text?

 

Both the building number and floor number would have to be manually entered if used in a tag.  A door location by floor can be read in a schedule.

 

BTW - Sice we have no text string manipulation available in Revit, the additional characters "/" "-" would have to be fixed in place in the tag.  In addition, I don't believe you can have the preceeding 0 in the door number.
