Revit – Copying room tags between floors to maintain correct room numbering

By Garry Stockton

When using room tags for numbering your rooms, they follow on numerically (see image A). However, when you tag upper floors the numbers follow the existing Tags from floor below (see image B)

Should you wish to number the upper floors from 201 (2^nd floor) and 301 (3^rd floor) as below (see Images below), use the following process.       

    Number/Tag rooms on the ground or first floor as required. When you go to the next level/floor insert another room Tag into your first room. You will note it’s inserted a Tag which follows numerically from previous floor. To modify, select the number in the tag and number it appropriately see image below.

Once you have changed the number to 201 for example for the 2^nd Floor, you will need to window the Tags from the floor below but note; not Room 101.

Select Filter on the selection panel and ensure that Rooms and Room Tags are the only items ticked. Apply and OK.

Go to the next level/floor you want to set Room Tags. On the clipboard panel select ‘Copy to Clipboard’. Drop the Paste menu and select ‘Aligned to selected levels’

Select Level required, OK and you’ll notice the Rooms Tag are correctly numbered.
