Tagging a Room

Before you can tag a room, you must add the room to the project. See Creating a Room. 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.

To tag a room

  1. Open a plan or section view.
  2. Click Architecture tabRoom & Area panelTag Room drop-down (Tag Room).
  3. On the Options Bar, do the following:
    • Indicate the desired orientation of the room tag.

      See Tag Orientation.

    • To include a leader line with the room tag, select Leader.
  4. Click in a room to place the room tag.

    As you place room tags, they align with existing tags. See Aligning Tags.

    Note: If rooms overlap where you click to place a tag, then only one room is tagged. If a room in the current model and a room in the linked model overlap, then the room in the current model is tagged.

After placing a room tag, you can modify its properties. See Room Tag Instance Properties.
