5 On the Options Bar, for Area, select New to create a new area, or select an existing area from
the list.
6 Click in the area plan to place the area.
If you place an area inside area boundaries, it expands to the extents of the boundaries. You can also place
an area in a free space or one that is not entirely bounded, and then draw area boundaries later. The area
expands to the boundaries.
Adding an Area Tag
Area tags display the total area within an area boundary. When you place an area tag, you can assign a
unique name to the area.
Before you can add area tags, you must add areas to the area plan. See Creating an Area on page 948. If you
do not use the Tag on placement option when creating areas, you can use the following procedure to add
area tags later.
NOTE As an alternative, use the Tag All Not Tagged tool to tag untagged areas. See Tag All Not Tagged on page
1067.
To add an area tag
1 Open an area plan view.
2 Click Drafting menu
➤
Area Tag, or on the Room and Area tab of the Design Bar, click Area Tag.
Revit Architecture highlights defined areas in the area plan.
3 On the Options Bar, do the following:
■ Indicate the desired orientation of the area tag.
See
Tag Orientation on page 922.
■ To include a leader line with the area tag, select Leader.
4 Click in an area to place the tag.
Deleting Areas and Area Tags
When you delete (unplace) an area in an area plan view, its tag is also deleted. However, the area is still
defined in the project. (See
Removing Areas on page 951.)
When you delete an area tag from an area plan view, only the area tag is deleted. The area remains in the
area plan view and the schedule view.
