View Full Version : Rotated Wall Tag

We're doing a building with a lot of 45 degree walls.
I've recreated our standard Partition tag (which looks kind of like a section cut) as a Revit Wall Tag.
My problem is that it just doesn't look right on those 45 walls. The only rotation options are Horizontal and Vertical. I'd like to rotate the Tag to be perpendicular to the wall.

Possible?

(If it makes a difference, I can post my family)

Create a copy of your tag family but rotate the parts by whatever degree you need and save. Load that and use that tag for those angle conditions.

OK, I was trying to simplify things.
We've actually got a lot of different angles, so I can't just make tags for each.
I'll try the "Rotate with component". That sounds like it might do the trick.

BTW, I did do a search for "Tag" before I posted this. Got no hits, but now that I look closer at the message, it says "the word may be too short". I did get several hits on "Wall Tag".

Thanks

The search function does not recognise less than four letters.

Putting an asterisk at both ends of a three letter word works. ( *tag* )

Thanks. You learn something every day.
Or, at least I hope I do!
