I have modified the standard wall tag to represent shear wall location and type however I want to be able to show the length of the shear wall as well. I can not seem to figure out how to get the tag to show the length of the wall. I am only having this problem with shear walls that are actually the full length of a wall. If I create parts within a wall the part tag will represent the length of the specified shear wall.

Within in the part tag family editor there already is a "length" label which allows me to do this however in the standard wall tag there is not "length" lable. If I create a shared parameter and apply it to the tag it does not show the length of a wall when loaded into a project. How can I add that label the the wall tag family category or assign it to automatically popluate the tag with the wall length?

 I've not uploaded this annotation, as I have not worked out all the bugs and added the features that I would like. Take a look maybe you can improve on it.
