Hi all,
I am a beginner, so please bare with me. Using Revit 2013.
A bunch of window and door families were originally modelled as Generic Models made up of a number of sweeps and extrusions. In order to tag them efficiently in plan the family type was changed to 'door' or 'window'. However, this messes with the cut plane of the door or window. The cut plane for each family changes to the top most sweep in the family, despite the cut plane of the plan view you are in. So to avoid editing loads of sweeps, I thought I could change the families back to generic models and use generic tags to tag them as doors or windows...
So, I have been trying to use generic model tags because changing the family type means our detail views and families change appearance in plan. We don't want to be limited in this way. Literally all I want to do is still be able to tag these elements as "D01" even if it is a generic model door, and not an actual door type.
When I try to use a generic model tag I get a warning saying "None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings." However, Generic Tags and annotations are switched on in my visibility settings!
Could anyone advise on how I can get around this hitch and still tag my generic model window and doors in plan? We won't produce a schedule from them, we just want to tag!
Any advice would be great at this point. Thanks!

Revit requires that you always think ahead... obviously someone did not.
Did you ever think of placing your generic "window" into a window family and using that? Now it will tag.
