 Invisible room tags (Revit MEP)  

I am using Revit MEP and trying to place room tags into a building that is a xref of Revit architecture. As I am about to place the tags, I noticed that it reads the original room names from the Revit Architecture file. But when I click to place the room tag an error pops up saying that the tag is not visible in the current view (which is a floor plan so it should). I tried ajdust my visibility/graphics, the view range, and my worksets are all set up as they should be. I tried utilizing the space naming utility but this was unsuccessful becuase the spaces would load but, again, there were no room tags. Does anyone know anywhere in the program where my views or visiblity might not be set up right, or know the sollution to this problem???

Re: Invisible room tags (Revit MEP)
In Response To:  Justin8304

What version are you in? In 2011 it was quite a process to get the architect's room names to the MEP model.  Are you using Room Tags or Spaces?  Revitr Architecture has Rooms  (& Room Tags) MEP has Spaces - you have to place the spaces before you can tag them.

When you say you tried to adjust your VG, were you on the annotations tab?  Were you looking at YOUR model settings or the linked models?  Have you got the tag loaded in this model?

If you can get the tag to show up in one vew, try copying it to this view.  If it doesn't show up, compare your settings in the two views.  Remember in the properties of each view there are several settings/ toggles.  

Use the Lightbulb (Hide-Unhide) to see if you can unhide the tags.

Keep going over the steps you know have to make a diference & keep a record of what you did.  Eventually, you will learn the proper sequence.  Don't  get too frutsrated - we all go through  this!
