When adding doors in Revit, you can control whether a tag is automatically placed at the same time using the "Tag on Placement" feature. This command is found in the contextual tab that appears when you are in the process of placing a door.
Understanding Tag on Placement
According to the reference (Revit Door and Window Tags - A How To Guide - YouTube, 0:32), when you go to place a door or a window, a specific contextual tab appears: the Modified | Place Door tab. Within this tab, there is a command called Tag on Placement.
- Default Behavior: This command is turned on by default. This means that whenever you insert a new door, a corresponding door tag will be automatically placed alongside it.
- Controlling Placement: If you do not want tags to be automatically placed when you insert doors, you can simply uncheck or turn off the "Tag on Placement" command before placing the door.
How to Use Tag on Placement
- Initiate the Door command (e.g., Architecture tab > Build panel > Door).
- Look for the green Modified | Place Door contextual tab that appears in the ribbon.
- Locate the Tag on Placement option within this tab.
- Ensure the checkbox next to "Tag on Placement" is checked if you want tags placed automatically, or unchecked if you do not.
- Proceed to place your doors.
This feature provides a quick way to manage initial tag placement as you model your project, saving you from having to manually tag every door afterward if automatic tagging is desired.
Note: This explanation focuses on the "Tag on Placement" setting as described in the reference. It controls whether a tag is initially placed with the door. Changing the type of tag used, modifying the tag family itself, or changing the value displayed by an existing tag (like the door number) involves different procedures within Revit.
