Hello, I am trying to place spot elevations on my first floor floor plan; however the spot elevation tags will not work. When I click on one, and t hen hover over the pipe I need to select, it just shows up as a circle with a line through it. I tried searching online for some possible fixes, but I couldn't find anything relevant. One person said to make sure the visual style was set to wireframe, but that didn't help at all. Does anyone know what could be causing the issue? I need to get this plan printed off as soon as possible, so I am a bit limited on time... If it comes down to it, I may have to draw each one in by hand.

Sorry about that, I forgot to mention that I am currently using REVIT MEP 2014.
Thanks for the help!

Does the tag work in other areas of the plan or just creating errors in this one area or pipe? Also is your detail level set to course? If so try upping it to medium or fine.

It will not let me place it anywhere on the plan view, or even in the first floor view (currently only have one floor also). I also double checked my view settings, and everything is in order. Really not sure why it wont let me place them...

Well, actually they just now began to work. I managed to place one in the 3D view, and then when I went back to place one in the plan view it actually worked. Could I have just ran into a glitch with Revit?

I've never had this problem so I'm not sure I wouldn't say its a glitch. Do you have the service packs downloaded for 2014?

I assumed that everything was up to date since we just installed Revit only a little over 2 weeks ago, but now it is saying there is an update. Maybe that will fix the issue if I run across it in the future, but right now I think I'm going to just ignore it. I rather not risk downloading it, and having more errors show up. The last AutoCAD update I downloaded actually messed up my linetypes on my drawings, and I had to go back in and fix them.
Normally I would just download the update, and fix any issues it may cause, but this time around I am pressed for time.
Anyway, thanks guys. If this issue does keep happening, I'll download the update. If that doesn't fix the issue though, I guess I'll come back to this topic.

No - You want to install this update because it fixes important problems. .... and it works.

The updates are sent out to fix things. As WWHub said you want to install them and you should.

I see where you are coming from, but as an ex programmer myself, I also know the risk involved with releasing updates. I mean generally they will e installed without issues, but that isn't always the case. Since I have a slower internet speed, there is always the chance of install files becoming corrupt, there are times where files will not always replace the older ones, sometimes folder paths get off, and other times there are just glitches for no apparent reasons. When it comes to updating a program like revit the risks are at a minimum (as opossed to updating something such as an OS), but the risk is still there.
Like I said, the last AutoCAD update I had to preform had errors in it as well. At the time all I had time to do was fix the line types, but later on I did get it fixed. I'm guessing a file was corrupt from my slow internet speed, but I really don't know for sure.
Anyway, I'm not saying you guys are wrong, and I know that I should install it, but it really isn't the best option for me at this moment. Especially since I'm not having any of the issues listed.

Update 1 for Revit 2014 is not a full install. It is more like a patch - not very big.
We always get a disk for our main program install but updates we download.

Well I went ahead and installed the update. It actually took over an hour to download, and so far everything seems to be fine. The ribbon randomly turned black on me for a second, but that's not really a problem.
