View Full Version : Mark's not automatically assigned?

Why is it for carpark (as an example).

In the current build, when they are placed they don't automatically get assigned the next available mark as with doors and windows?

I can't remember for sure as i probably took it for granted, but didn't this use to work. Now i have to place a carpark, tag it, then change its number, then repeat this process for every single one?

Anyone else noticed this?

I don't think tags that auto increment have ever been available in Revit. If they have been I'm going to kick myself for not knowing. I just finished working drawings for a commercial residential project with 1400 parking spaces... each individually numbered.

I believe this is a wishlist item and has been for a while. That, and having numbers automatically update if you delete one.

What Mr. Spot is referring to is the pseudo auto numbering that exists for window and door tags. Place a door or window tag, say it comes in as D01, now renumber it to say D 100. The next door tag you place will be D 101 ( the next available number, not D02, as might be the case without this limited intelligence.)

This doesn't happen with parking tags ( I'm not sure if it ever did )

I guess it never did work, it's been that long since i've had to tag carparking i'd forgotten about this...

I need to establish a list of reminders i'm often forgetting little things like this. Guess its my old age... :P
