To tag, or not to tag

To tag, or not to tag, that is your problem in a Revit session. This is analogue to "To be, or not to be", the famous opening phrase of a soliloquy in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, and the fundamental question and answer is there.

Most of the Revit users will agree that tagging an object will give more benefits rather than using the Revit command Annotation, Text. Once an object needs be revised, the annotation will be automatically changed while using Text, you got to do it manually, a tedious work in the long run.

My recommendation: Always do tagging an object. There are several built-in parameters present in all Family Category. Why not take sometime to review your families and start adding your favorite tags.

I hope this will inspire you to work more efficient in annotating your Revit drawings.
