Hi,
I am at RiR version 1.12.8449.6358 and trying to use “Material Tag” component to do massive tagging in precise locations of Elevations and Sections. But it doesn’t recognize the material from an element and seems to use the “Category Tag” function in the background.
Need help on that, thanks!
Hi Hali, a quick test in 1.14 looks OK. I placed the top tag manually to confirm i had a material tag loaded.
Hey Japhy, long time no see. Got it, I will update my RiR.
In 1.14, is the Element input required or optional? My case is I am trying to replace previous Generic Annotation to real Material Tag in the whole project. I have the location ready, but it will be hard for me to get the exactly element of everything.
Yes, The Tag Location is more than just a point, it has to be a Computed Reference on the Element.
You may want to look at adding in a Shared Parameter that your existing Tag can read instead.
Hi Japhy，How should I adjust the length of the leader line?It will overlap with the text.
Thank you, that worked well.
Hi @Japhy ,
I’m tagging a concrete element’s material through Rhino.Inside.Revit (using the “Material Tag” component). In Revit, the tag displays correctly (e.g., “Cast-in-place Concrete”), but the Grasshopper-created tag only shows a question mark (“?”). Do you know why the tag’s text isn’t transferring correctly when placed via Grasshopper, and how I can fix it so the correct material name appears?
Hi Muhammad,
Everything looks ok on a quick test.
Can you provide a small sample file and Rhino/Revit versions? Thanks
I’m guessing that it has to do with the Wall, have you created parts out of it?
Hi Japhy,
I’ve noticed that it only works if it finds the correct position. For example, when I use the object’s centroid, I see the tag displayed properly. However, as soon as I use the Element Location component, it shows a question mark instead.
That indicates it’s not getting a valid point in the Revit view.
I’m not sure how you’re able to apply material tags to DirectShapes. I’m unable to get the tags to appear, even when adding them manually in Revit. I’ve also checked the tag properties and material descriptions, and everything looks fine.
