Description

“Where do I use that?” and “Where did that come from?” There are innumerable relationships among Revit objects and data and views and so on. This document, which is a revision to “Follow the Flow 101 – Materials and Tags,” covers Parameters and Tags for Materials.

Summary:

The Materials Identity tab lists the Category Parameters for which you can fill in values.

These Category Parameters show up as a list of data items when you create or edit a Materials Tag, so you can include one or more of them in the Materials Tag.

Then you use the Materials Tag to annotate materials in print views. Changes to the Parameter values can be made GLOBALLY (love that word!) by editing either the Materials Identity list or any Tag Instance. So the exact same note will appear everywhere that a particular Material is tagged in the project!
