OMG you are brilliant!!!! I've always hated that Revit doesn't let you tag areas of filled regions, especially for energy code compliance elevations. This workaround is genius, THANK YOU!
Awesome! Needed that for a long time and couldn't figure it out. Now I'm going to try to figure out how to make one that shows opaque and transparent areas of walls for energy calc.
That is a good question. You can find the answer in this thread: forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/always-round-down-an-area-in-a-tag/td-p/6815912
Awesome stuff! Thank you for posting. Quick follow up question, since we're tricking the system, do you have any suggestions on how to populate a schedule based on this tag?
I am not aware of a way to do that. I think you would need to schedule filled regions, which is not possible. There might be some trick to do that, I just do not know about any.
How come your Revit look neat and clean ( like Archicad ).. Normally Revit look ugly coz of thick line drawing. Is it because of your screen resolution or Revit setting?
It is definetely not screen resolution - I am using 1920x1080. It might be that this project is simple, so doesn't look overwhelming. There are other setting that might make your viewport more pleasant like turning on anti-aliasing and other settings. I might do a tutorial on setting up nice viewport.
I do not know about a way how to get the area to the schedule. That is a problem with this workaround - Revit by default does not put annotation objects to schedules.
Hi! i recently saw this video and was very usefull to me, so it generates a few inquiries, for more advance posibilities, do you know if there is a way that i cant calculate in a tag over a filled region the difference percentage between two filled regions?
As you cannot schedule area of regions, I doubt there is a way to use these numbers in calculations. There might be a way, Revit us full of surprises, but I don't know of any.
Odlehčeně řečeno tak jak to je v perexu jednoho webu: "Na všechno v Revitu je nějakej "workaround", ale musíme na něj teprve přijít". A neodlehčeně, to bych musel být vulgární.
