HI,

I have seen this question before but not sure if there is an answer for it in newer versions...

I have a large multistorey carpark and need to number the bays with a parking tag. Is there an easier way to do this than selecting each individual carbay and changing it's mark one by one. There are over 1500 bays and that equals a lot of time.

Thanks

You might find an add-on that will allow this but nothing in native Revit.

I know this question is more than a year old but i feel like i should add something about this topic:

I too was currently searching for a way to tag car bays. More importantly if i was to remove a bay the tags would automatically update. Would be very helpful.

So from what i found - after googling this question - is that Revit doesn't offer a tag for parking Bays (as off 2013 Reivt). So you have to kinda cheat.

You have too change the family type to something you can tag ie: a door, a window, etc

Simple steps:

1. Open your Parking Family, save as
2. Under 'Properties' click on 'Family Category and Parameters'
3. Change to 'Doors'
4. Save and load into project.
5. Place your new parking bay - remember to place in the sequence you want the numbers!
6. From Annotate Tab, click 'Tag All' and choose the door tag (if none available, stop command & load one)

CONS:

• Revit no longer recognizes it as a Parking Element. So you'll have to remember that for scheduling.
• If you have existing doors it will tag them with the doors (or windows or whatever you chose)
• You have to place the parking bays in the number sequence order, otherwise the numbering will be as you placed them.
• If you delete a bay the numbers will NOT update (unless you have the plugin for re-numbering materials: http://revitfb.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/element-renumber-2012-free.html)
• To re-number you will have to manually select each bay and change the Mark.

So yeah, not sure if this is helpful but i just wanted to add this for the next person who is looking for the same solution as i was.
