Hi all,
I have used architectural conc. columns as pilasters (because they integrate with the wall as opposed to structural columns)in my project, and now need to tag the pilasters. But I cannot seem to find a tag (in Revit Structure 2) that will tag it.

Is threre one in Revit Building that I can borrow? Any other suggestions?

For some reason, there doesn't seem to be a tag (or family category within a tag family) for architectural columns.

What I tried as a workaround, was to make a pilaster, using the architectural column template, and then within the family under settings, change it's family category to a generic model, which can be tagged.

The only other drawback is you have to use the join geometry tool to get it to join the wall similar to the way arch columns automatically do.

The family is attached.

Thanks for your effort Andrew. I'll give that a try.
