On our reflected ceiling plans, we'd like to show room numbers only and hide the names (the names are taking up a fair amount or real estate).

When I edit the Room Tags type, I see there's "Show Room Number" and "Show Area", but don't see a "Show Room Name".

Is there a way to hide the room name w/o having to do a workaround?

Just edit your room tag family to add a switch for the room name as well. Then set it for all types including a new one that is room number only.

Or - create a new tag family.

buttonsrtoys, look up Visibility Controls to learn how to make the 'switch' wmullet mentioned. Apply it to the room name label. It will initially be turned ON (checked) for all the tag types, so you'll need to go through the types and uncheck it for the new type you don't want the room name to be seen in.

(check out this post of mine, item #4 on for more specific directions on the visibility control: http://www.apertedesign.com/?p=53 )
