Place Tags with Multiple Leaders

Tag multiple elements with the same tag using the Add / Remove Host option during tag placement or add more hosts (leaders) to existing tags.

You can also customize the appearance of tag leaders, adjust them together or change the visibility of individual tag leaders.

This works for Tag by Category, Multi-Category, Material Tag, Keynote Tag, Material Keynote Tag.

Add Multiple Leaders

In the Annotate tab Tag panel, click (Tag by Category).
In the Modify | Tag tab Host panel, click (Add / Remove Host).
Click one or more elements to tag
Click in empty space to finish creating the tag

Note: For all elements in Revit, you can use the window selection, after the first leader is added. In the case of Tag by Category, this determines the category of the tag that is used. The selection is filtered to include only the elements of that category.

Use the Add/Remove Host command to add leaders to additional elements or to remove tagged elements from the selection.

Snap and Merge Leaders

To snap the individual tag leaders together and position them precisely, or move all of the leaders together:

In the Modify | Tag tab Leaders panel, click (Merge Leaders).

You ca adjust the tag leaders on placement or for existing tags.

Show and Hide Leaders

You can tag multiple elements, but only show one or some of the tag leaders, to make the drawings less cluttered.

In the Modify | < Element Category > Tags Leaders panel, click (Select Leaders to Show).
Select the leaders you want to show and de-select the others.
Click (Finish) to save your changes and exit the edit mode.
