Tag on Placement

When you are adding an element in a view, use the Tag on Placement tool to automatically tag the element as it is placed.

When there is no tag loaded for the element, you are prompted to load an appropriate tag. See Loading Tag Styles.

Example:

• If you select a furniture element and specify Tag on Placement, you are prompted to load a furniture tag.

To apply tags on placement

1. On the ribbon, select an element to place.
2. On the Modify | Place <Element> tabTag panel, verify that (Tag on Placement) is highlighted, indicating that it’s active.

   If no appropriate tag is loaded, you are prompted to load a tag for the category. Click Yes and load the tag.

3. On the ribbon:
   • To set the orientation of the tag, select Vertical or Horizontal.

     After you place the tag, you can change its orientation by selecting the tag and pressing Spacebar.

   • If you want the tag to have a leader line, select Leader.
   • If desired, enter a value for the length of the leader in the text box next to the Leader check box.
4. Click to place the element.

   The tag displays as specified.

   Note: Starting with Revit 2026, when placing a window, door, wire or duct, the above controls are placed on the ribbon, in the Modify tab Tag panel.
