Click on the tag - you have an option in the options bar for vertical or horizontal.

and you only been working with revit for two days i ques? if there is no Height and Width label in the window tag family, why would revit feel the need to update it? open up the window tag family and add labels for the height and width?

" actually, no....been using it for a while (no pro mind you), but I havent had to tag windows like this since i was on autocad haha I usually tag the windows and do a windows schedule. These guys dont do schedules!! :S i got more commercial fitout experience, thats why ive never had to tag windows before. My usual work involved just making custom models before :D

Didnt want to insult you on the two days thing there, but if you would have looked into the Window tag family i would quess most of the tag editing would explaine itself, i had a quick 1 min edit and its more or less done, Kind regards, D
