Hi everyone, not sure if this is where I should be posting this (I think that this is my first time or at least it has been forever since I have done this) but if not tell me because I need an answer before I go bonkers!

I am fairly new to Revit and I am trying to get my room names to show up in my options. Here's what I got. I have an option 1 and rooms are all tagged and everything looks good but then when I do a callout of a certain area (because the building is quite large we divided into sections) the room tags are not showing up - no biggy - I will just drag some more over - WON'T WORK - I get that stupid option conflict error message "Warning: Option Conflict between Rooms.
Room in Option 'LOWER LEVEL : Option 1' overlaps room in the Main Model in View 'OPTION 1 - LOWER LEVEL AREA B'.
To resolve, select the Main Model Room Tag and use the Add to Design Option Set command."
And I can't figure it out where the 'main model' is - I did read a post from someone who said that HELP had some good documention but I can't find that deither.

PLEASE HELP!

Dawn

Room tags are option aware..

After you create the callout, open the option, & then place the tags. They'll carry the same # & name info of the other previously placed tags.

If you try to place the tags without opening the option in the view, you'll get the error messaage you described.

Also, if you want to freeze that option for the view, go to view/visibility, select the design option tag, and change it from automatic to the option you wish to see.

Thanks, It worked but I was using a copy of a call out or something but now my detail of my walls don't come through. I set it to medium instead of course but I got nothing - Any Ideas?

Thanks again
