Tag Leaders

[Allen Lacy]

What controls where a tag leader points? I am doing an equipment plan for a Haagen-Dazs and sometimes the tag leader touches "its" object and sometimes not. :?

What happens is Revit places a bounding box around the component. The bounding box is the smallest rectangle that can contain all the geometry of the component and is orthagonal to the view. I think this second part is causing you the most grief. The leader itself snaps to the midpoints of the four sides of the bounding box.

Thanks. Does the geometry rectangle include reference planes used in making the geometry?

AFAIK, it includes ANY object including ref planes used in creating the object. What I think we need is a new object type, called "Bounding Box", then we could draw it in or modify the exisitng to make the snap points more predictacble.
