Hello, this is my first post here. I'm trying to help out our electrical guys, but I'm not having any luck so looking for additional assistance.
Basically I'm tying to get a certain designation added to the home run leader tag without the information going into the panel schedule, but the value needs to be added to the panel (family properties) on an instance base so it will appear when circuiting.
For example our Panel name is P2, so when tagging the Receptacle, it reads "P2 - 1, 2" for example. We like to add a parameter so when we tag the power devices, the home run tag reads "P2 - 1, 2 - M", where M is the value we do not want shown on the Panel Schedule. We've tried a few different ways, and ended up adding a "Comment" parameter to the panel family and tag family which seems to work, but the process is manual. Meaning, for all items pointing to P2, we have to add the M manually to each home run tag.
Ideally we'd like to add the M one time to the panel family properties, then all items circuited to that panel would automatically add the M to their home run tags.
I hope that makes sense. I'm a little choppy with parameters in Revit, so I'm trying my best to explain (and understand). We also tried Shared Parameters adding that to the Project, Panel, and Tag, and they are all showing but the value we enter will not populate the tags as we need it to. We do add the Family Parameter to the tag so it reads "Panel - Circuit - Identifier", but the identifier doesn't show. It does show for our "Panel - Circuit - Comment", but again, that last is a tedious manual process. The Identifier was made as a Shared Parameter, Common, Text and categorized in Electrical, and Electrical circuits.
Thanks in advance for any help.
