Occupant tag

[scoe]

This probably is one of those easy things to solve, but I need to have a room tag that shows the room name, sf and "occupants", not "occupancy". I can get the schedule to list occupants with no problems, but I can't get the tag to show this.

I added a parameter in the room tag, but it wouldn't automatically update the tag.

What am I missing?

If you did it right, [in the project file]check the "type" property of the tag to make sure that it is checked to be visible

as a side note, you are familar with "shared parameters" right? that is the only way you could have set up the parameter correctly....

Let me know...

There is no built in parameter for "occupants" but there is a built in parameter for "Number of People".

If you added a Project Parameter for "Occupants" you will be able to get it to show up in a schedule, but you won't be able to tag it. If you want to be able to tag and schedule a "user defined" parameter, you must create a shared parameter, as Luigi has indicated.

If you just want to track the number of people in the room, use the built in parameter.

Just to be clear, you can tag almost any parameter, including "shared parameter" the only parameter you cannot tag is the "calculated parameter" (which is a shame.... So, if you have a shared parameter, you can tag it, but it isn't an immediate thing...there is a few steps involved...

Peace,
