    Default Auto-numbering parking tags

    Is it possible to have auto-numbering parking tags, in a similar way as Revit auto-numbers other things like doors with Tag All? I know I can enter the mark numbers in a schedule, but for a large number of parking spots it is still very time consuming.

    Unfortunately, no. The Autonumbering seems to be hard-coded into the program, and is not avaialble for families of any other catagory than those that /revit provided for.

    The API can handle this I think. Pretty sure I've seen a tool out there to help renumber doors so it should be possible to do with any other category.

    Yes, but as Scott said, Revit reserves the auto-numbering feature for certain objects, only. Maybe is an index number in that Doors' table in the database. Maybe other entities, like parking spots don't have that index number?

    <Dirty little workaround mode ;on>
    Open your parking stall family, change it's category to Door, window or some other auto-incrementing category and reload it into the project. Place your parking stalls and they will be numbered with automatic incrementing.
    Once you're done you can change the category back and the stall numbers should be retained.
    A couple of caveats. The family will need to be placed on a workplane and then re-hosted to the site or the floor.
    This is probably best suited to the initial placement of the stalls just to save the initial input of numbers.

    Hmm.. Thanks. I just tried your tip, but Revit did not let me cheat. Didn't tag the parking spots, even if they were disguised as doors.

    what about auto-renumbering rooms if they're already numbered? i mean w/o using schedule or API, is it possible?

    Alfredo,
    Please give it another try. The sequence is as follows.
    Easiest way is to place the first stall in the project
    Select the stall and select Edit Family
    change the category to door, (set to workplane based if not already)
    reload the family
    place the stalls (check to see that they auto increment) You can tag on placement if you need to keep track of the numbers but keep in mind that these tags will be deleted when you change the category back
    click on the family to edit it again
    change the category back to parking
    reload the family
    Be sure a parking tag is loaded in your project
    You should be able to tag the stalls individually or using tag all

    Just to be sure I tried this in 2010 and 2011 and it seems to work for me in both. Let me know if you still have trouble.

    Joe, automatic renumbering of rooms is not available out of the box but the Avatech utilities do have a renumbering tool. It saves some time but still requires some manual input.

    the problem i find (not so much with parking, but rather with doors or panels) is that changes between initial drawing/modeling and final CDs require the items (doors or panels) change so that the numbering has to be re-done at-least once, typically more.

    it would be nice if there was an plugin that would re-number doors based on a drawn path perhaps? (e.g. draw a line around your building and the plugin would renumber your doors from (say 1 to 100) in that direction.
