Maybe a solution for automatic rotating tag door...

[Pierre-Nelson NAVARRA]

Maybe a solution but...still having questions...

See the pictures attached.
Actually, I made a tag with a line grouped.
So, I can add an angle parameter controled by type.

It works but :
- I can't understand how to control the origin
- I add an angle aperture parameter in my family door and I can't automaticaly link it with my angle aperture in my family tag door...

I dont believe you can. One is a parameter of an annotation family, one is a parameter of a Door Object. While it feels like you are close, that is a very large rift to get over, and i dont believe you will find an easy way over it, if one at all.

Plus, as i mentioned in the other thread, i think it is a lot of effort for something that could be demonstrated/shown with a different representation, with a LOT less hassle/time/manual coordination.

EDIT: If you need to display that angle parameter for the door, for some programattical reason, you can simply make the Door tag have another Label in it, that displays the angle parameter. Then the tag can list the door number, and the door angle, or whatever.

If its simply a graphic thing to make it look nice... Learn early and fast that Revit is going to fight you on some of those issues. :)

Those efforts are not useless. That's alow me to discover new functionnalities wich will be necessary later .

Anyway : thx

Many Many apologies! I did not mean to infer that your efforts were wasted and/or uesless. I just know that there is sometimes (during the transition to Revit) someone overhead who is demanding a PARTICULAR graphical representation, and we (as the hands that make the mice move) will often toil and toil seeking out ways to do exactly what they want, even if it is in no ones best interests.

Learning the in's and out's is ALWAYS valuable experience, and mi glad its going well! Good luck. :)

twiceroadsfool : there's no panic, I was not disappointed.
