Has anyone figured out how to tag a room with the ceiling height or is it still tag with 2 separate tags?

thanks.

Are you talking about in an RCP or in plan? Would you prefer to tag the room or the ceiling?

I don't have a solution, but would imagine this would be somewhat straightforward to script the basic case: one room with one ceiling. I imagine creating a room tag, for instance, with a shared parameter called something really clever, like "Ceiling Height". The script would find the ceiling contained in the volume, check it's height parameter, and transport that value to the Ceiling Height parameter. (My underlined portion of the above sentence is to highlight the aspect I imagine--with little knowledge of the Revit API--that might be tricky.)

You might consider posting a request in the API section for a script that does this. Just a thought!

Part of this depends on if you're trying to return the upper limits of the room object or the actual Ceiling object as the 2 aren't connected.
But as was stated earlier you could do some dynamo wizardy that might work.
