I just modified a tag to contain several different "Family Types". However, there is one instance of the tag which would likely be used in about 75% of the cases. I would like to have this "Family Type" be the default "Family Type" when the tag is placed, but I cannot figure out how to set this. I tried renaming and switching the display option between the "Family Type" thinking the Revit was somehow maintaining a link to the specific "Family Type" as the default, but that did not work either. It seems that Revit automatically defaults to a "Family Type" based on alphabetical order.

Does anyone have a workaround to set the default "Family Type" in a family? Or do I have to simply rename my family types such that the desired default family type comes first in alpha-numeric order?

Thanks for your input

Just figured it out. After you type TG to place the tag, click on the tags icon in the green menu bar. You can set the default tag in here.
