Is there a quick easy way to tag pipes in Revit 2015 in a locked 3d view?
I need to show individual pipe lengths and diameter.

Currently I have pipe size tags loaded and they show the pipe diameter OD but I really want to show ID for gas piping plan. But more importantly, I need to show lengths of ea. segment.
Thank You

You will need to create a new pipe tag family (Or modify an existing one) to include the Pipe Length and Inside Diameter parameters in the tag family label. I've added some images below

Awesome Herman! Thank You.
Only one little issue though- after choosing inside diameter in the tag editor, and tagging a 1/2" carbon steel pipe. it still says 1"??
What am I missing there?

You likely have to adjust the unit tolerance. Go to Manage tab ยป Project Units, Discipline: Piping, and click on the Pipe Size button. Make sure the Rounding is set fine enough, so that it isn't rounding off the Pipe Size in the Tag.
