door mark warnings

[yanyan77]

we put the door number with unit in the door tag system, so there are repeat numbers in the door tag, such as 1A/1001,1B/1001.
number is door mark parameter, unit is another parameter.
so REVIT warns us, there are many doors have same marks.
how can we solve these warnings.
we do not want to put unit in the mark parameter, because we need group door in different unit in the schedule

I believe Revit is giving the warning because of the 1A and 1B numbering--
it is reading the "1" and then sees it again. It is not recognizing the 1A and 1B
as separate Marks.

Try a quick test, and change them to 1.1 / 1001 and 1.2 / 1001 and see if the warning goes away.

I'm not sure, but there might be a way to use "conditional formatting" in the Door Schedule
to make it work how you want it to?

Edit: I just tried creating doors with 1-A and 1-B, and it worked, scheduled correctly without any warnings. But I did not have the Unit number as a separate parameter?
How are you setting this up? Can you post an example?

cheers

the warning is like this:
1A : Doors : HM Single INTERIOR FLUSH TYPE B : 3'-0"x7'-0" INTERIOR FLUSH TYPE B - Mark 24 : id 428223
1C : Doors : HM Double INTERIOR FLUSH TYPE B : 6'-0"x7'-0" FLUSH TYPE B - Mark 24 : id 436002
1F : Doors : Single-Flush EXISTING : 36" x 84" - Mark 24 : id 1895966
3B : Doors : HM Single INTERIOR FLUSH TYPE B : 3'-0"x7'-0" INTERIOR FLUSH TYPE B - Mark 24 : id 2343612
1K : Doors : HM Single INTERIOR FLUSH TYPE B : 3'-0"x7'-0" INTERIOR FLUSH TYPE B - Mark 24 : id 2544443
2J : Doors : HM Single INTERIOR TYPE B W/ SIDE LIGHT : 3'-0"x7'-0" TYPE B SIDE LIGHT - Mark 24 : id 2867016
1J : Doors : HM Single INTERIOR TYPE B W/ SIDE LIGHT : 3'-0"x7'-0" TYPE B SIDE LIGHT - Mark 24 : id 2867866

so the problem is Mark.

Be sure not to confuse "Mark" and "Type Mark" in the Door Properties box.

just a thought?

If I am understanding this, I believe the trouble is with the number 1001 as I believe you are using this as a room designation. If you are using the "Mark" for this value then any door that you tag with this designation will result in an error message, regardless if it is 1A, 1B, 1C...

We use a similar convention here, and to avoid this whole issue, I use shared parameters called Door No. and Room No. - no issues.

Except that Revit will at least warn you if the Mark values are the same. it wont do squat with Shared Parameters. Plus i would SWEAR back in the day it wouldnt LEt you have doors with the same Mark value, but i am probably wrong about that, because it seems to let you now...

thanks

We just include the room number in the door Mark number. If there's only one door in a room, its number is the same as the room number. If there are multiple doors, then I just number them like 100.1, 100.2, 100.3 etc. for room 100. That way there are no overlapping mark numbers.

The issue we run into is that we assign the same Type Mark to every flush door, every half glass door, etc. regardless of size. So all sizes of flush doors might have Type Mark F, which throws up a few warnings, but oh well.
