Room Tags
Rooms and room tags are separate but related Revit Architecture components. Rooms are model elements
in Revit Architecture, like walls and doors. Room tags are annotation elements that can be added and
displayed in plan views and section views. Room tags can display values for related parameters, such as room
number, room name, computed area, and volume.

Tagging a Room
Before you can tag a room, you must add the room to the project. See Creating a Room on page 913. If you
do not use the Tag on placement option when creating rooms, you can use the following procedure to tag
rooms later.
NOTE As an alternative, use the Tag All Not Tagged tool to tag all untagged rooms in a view. This tool can be
useful, for example, when you place and tag rooms in a floor plan view, and you want to see tags for the same
rooms in a reflected ceiling plan (RCP) view. See
Tag All Not Tagged on page 1067.
To tag a room
1 Open a plan or section view.
2 On the Room and Area tab of the Design Bar, click Room Tag.
3 On the Options Bar, do the following:
■ Indicate the desired orientation of the room tag.
See
Tag Orientation on page 922.
■ To include a leader line with the room tag, select Leader.
4 Click in a room to place the room tag.
NOTE As you place room tags, they align with existing tags. See Aligning Tags on page 1066.
After placing a room tag, you can modify its properties. See Room Tag Properties on page 925.
Tag Orientation
When tagging a room or area, you can specify the orientation of the tag to the view. The Orientation
parameter displays in the tag instance properties. It also displays on the Options Bar when you are adding
a room, area, or tag to a view.
Select one of the following options:
■ Horizontal : The tag displays horizontally in the view (the default).
