In Revit 9.0 room tags can no longer be isolated using IC (Isolate Category) command and copied to a new phase. Does anyone know an easy work-around to select room tags?
I need to select all rooms and room tags to copy them to a new phase. Sometimes i need to select all room tags to change the room tag family for different views.
Thank you.

You shouldn't need to copy them to a new phase. If you duplicate a view with detail they will be in that duplicated plan. Then change the view properties.

are you working in Revit 9? The rooms are now linked to a phase, rooms and tags no longer copy automatically if you change the phase. i think it is an enhancement with unintended consequences.
If you copy a plan and then change the phase, the rooms and tags disappear. As far as I can tell you have to select and copy the rooms back in from the previous phase and then re-tag every room. Rooms and tags cannot be isolated using IC.
I hope I'm wrong about this.

Rooms are phase aware and only exist in one phase, they always have. If you place rooms in a view assigned to one phase and change the view to another phase the room and tag disappear but they are NOT gone. Change the view back to the other phase and they reappear. This way a room schedule of existing rooms doesn't suddenly vanish from the project. In previous release different warnings were generated when you did this, now no warnings at all. They just turn off and return when the phase is reset. Room tags also don't appear when a view's crop region excludes the room's extents from the view.
If you have documented existing rooms and tagged them in a view assigned to the existing phase and now want them to also appear in the next phase...just copy and paste the room AND room tag into the view after assigning the correct phase first.
As a practice you are much better off setting up views for each relevant phase before placing rooms and tagging them. Then do so in the appropriate view. Also keep in mind that rooms are now an object and they are tagged just like other objects.
If you select both the room and room tag you can use IC if that helps? When you use it on just the tag you are turning off the room category and the tag can't find its object anymore.

Thanks for the tip on how to use IC to select rooms and room tags. That is a big help. Do you know of a way to select room tags only (in order to change the room tag family as a group)?
