Assembly Instance Properties

To modify an instance property of an assembly, you change the value of the corresponding parameter, as described under Modifying Instance Properties.

Common instance properties for assemblies are described below.

Name Description
Identity Data
Naming Category The Revit category from which the default assembly type name is derived. When creating an assembly of elements from different categories, you are prompted to select one as the naming category. If 2 assemblies are exactly the same except for the naming category, 2 different assembly types will result.
Comments

Displays a comment that you enter or select from the drop-down list.

Once entered, a comment can be selected for other instances of elements in the same category, regardless of type or family.
Mark

Identifies or enumerates a particular instance as specified by the user.

If you change this value to one that is already used by another instance of the same assembly type, Revit warns you, but allows you to continue using it. The Mark property of the next instance you place will then be assigned the next highest unused number.
Phasing
Phase Created

Specifies the phase when this instance was created.

Phase Demolished

Specifies the phase when this instance was demolished.
