Room and Room Tag Relationship
When you create a room, if it is properly bounded by elements (such as walls) and room separation lines,
Revit Architecture computes the room area between the boundaries. Revit Architecture displays a warning
if the room is not in a properly enclosed region.
To place a room tag when creating or placing a room in a view, select the Tag on placement option of the
Options Bar. If you place a room without a tag, you can tag it later using the Room Tag tool. (See
Tagging
a Room on page 922.) You can also use the Tag All Not Tagged tool to tag several untagged rooms in one
operation. (See Tag All Not Tagged on page 1067.)
As an aid to early design and programmatic studies, you can add rooms (for example, from a program list)
to a schedule before you define walls or place rooms in a plan view. In a room schedule, you can click New
on the Options Bar to add new room types to the schedule. You can then place those predefined rooms in
the project by selecting them in the Room list on the Options Bar while the Room tool is active.
If you place a new room within bounding elements or separation lines that contain a room that you placed
previously, Revit Architecture warns you that the new room is redundant and suggests that you either move
it or delete it.
You can delete a room by deleting it from a room schedule. The corresponding room tag is deleted as well.
If you delete a room tag in a plan view, the room remains in the project and in the schedule. (See
Removing
Rooms on page 936.)
Room Schedules and Room Tags
The room schedule and rooms are associated; therefore, all fields that appear in the room schedule are part
of the properties list for the room. If you modify field values in the schedule, the corresponding property
values update for the room, and vice versa. Also, this association extends to room tags. For example, if you
change the room name in the schedule, the room and related tags update and display the new name.
Room tags are annotation elements that display values from the room properties. The properties of a room
tag are the properties of the annotation family. If a room is selected in a schedule, you can click the Show
button on the Options Bar to see the position of the room in any related view.
For more information about schedules, see Creating a Schedule or Quantity on page 125.
