Room Tags

Rooms and room tags are separate but related Revit components.

Rooms are model elements in Revit, like walls and doors. Room tags are annotation elements that can be added and displayed in plan views and section views. Room tags can display values for related parameters, such as room number, room name, computed area, and volume.

About Rooms and Room Tags
When you create a room, if it is properly bounded by elements (such as walls) and room separation lines, Revit computes the room area between the boundaries.
About 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.
About Room-Aware Families
When a room schedule does not reflect the correct room for an element, modify the element family to make it room-aware.
Tag a Room
If you do not use the Tag on Placement option when creating rooms, you can tag rooms later.
Tag a Room on Placement
