Hi,

I'm trying to create a new room tag with the option to turn off the room finish info via a tick box in properties.

I've create the tag, created the finishes lable, clicked on the equals sign for visibility in properties and Clicked add parameter and chosen an instance parameter of type Yes/No.

This works when I test it on a door family (i.e. to turn off an object in a door), but when I try it on a room tag family the option does not appear in properties.

Any ideas why??

Cheers.

I thought of doing this, but it seemed neater to make it a tick box in properties.

Also, I'm going to create another tag which shows 6 items of room data, each of which I want to turn off - if I create a separate tag for each that would mean creating 36 tags.

Am I wrong? Can you not set up a instance visibility parameter for a tag???

You can not do what you want.  Tags really don't have properties - rooms do.  Much easier to do it by tag types.....

Example - In a view you have rooms tagged with normal tags... room and room number.  Now copy these to clipboard and paste same place in another view... and change all of these tags to tags with finishes - done.

ok. Thanks.

It seems strange, that in any other family, you can just click on an element and hook its visibility up to an instance parameter - but not with tags...
