    Default Room Names Not Showing

    I use that external utility for room names. I have created the spaces automatically then used this tool to insert the room names. Everything looks fine on my power plans but for some reasons the room names are not showing on the lighting plans. Any ideas?

    If the Spaces are not visible (with them turned on in V/G), ensure that the Cut Plane is cutting through the Spaces, as they will not show unless this is so. If the Cut Plane on you Lighting Plan is at 0", change it to 1/2" (someting higher than 0") so that it slices through the bottom of the Spaces.

    Obvious question, but have you placed space tags in your lighting plan? They are view dependent.

    Also, room/space tags are annotations so they show up in only one view. So when you create spaces automatically, the tags will show up but only for the view you were in when you created spaces. What I'll do is create spaces, run the space naming utility, then select all the tags and copy to clipboard, then paste them to the other plan views.
