Tagging a Revision Cloud

A revision tag identifies the revision assigned to each cloud in a view. (You enter revision information on the Sheet Issues/Revisions dialog. See Entering Revision Information.)

To tag revision clouds

1. If the revision tag family is not yet loaded into the project, load it.

   A project created using the default project template includes the Revision Tag or M_Revision Tag family. To check whether another revision tag family is loaded, in the Project Browser, under FamiliesAnnotation Symbols, look for the revision tag family name. To load a revision tag family, see Loading Families for instructions.

2. Open the view that contains revision clouds.
3. Click Annotate tabTag panel (Tag By Category).
4. In the drawing area, select the revision clouds to tag.

   As you select each cloud, Revit displays a revision tag next to it. Numbers in the tags reflect the revisions assigned to the clouds. (See Assigning a Revision to a Revision Cloud.) On sheets, these tag numbers can differ. (See Revision Cloud Numbering by Project or by Sheet.)

5. If desired, adjust the positions of the tags and their leader lines, as follows:
   1. Press Esc to exit the Tab by Category tool.
   2. Select a revision tag.

      You may need to zoom in to see the controls for the revision tag.

   3. To reposition the tag, drag the blue arrows.
   4. To adjust the elbow in its leader line, drag the blue dot.
   5. To remove the leader line, on the Options Bar, clear Leader.
   6. To assign the tag to a different revision cloud, click Modify | Revision Cloud Tags tabHost panelPick New Host. In the drawing area, select the desired revision cloud for the tab.
