Tagging Fixtures with Circuit and Zone Information
Electrical · Lighting System · 2m
This lesson teaches you how to efficiently tag light fixtures with circuit and zone information in Revit. You'll learn to navigate the annotate tab, select fixtures for tagging, and adjust tag placement for clarity.
Specific skills covered include tagging fixtures individually or collectively, using filters to manage tag visibility, and understanding the relationship between tags and wiring in your drawings.

To tag your light fixtures, go to the annotate tab, then over here you can either tag all of them or just tag by category. This one, you'll have to manually tag each light fixtures. I'll have to click here, here, here, and here. If I wanted to tag them all in one go, go ahead and click the tag all, and then over here we can scroll down to light fixtures, and then make sure you select the ones that you want. So here, let's say I want to select light fixture type, circuit, and zone.
Send from here, you can hit okay, and all the light fixtures have been tagged. So you can see here they're all slightly off and that they overlap the fixture. Easiest way to do to fix this is just to select everything, use the filter, uncheck everything, and then just check fixture tags. Then now you now that you have them all selected, you can either use the arrow key or click and drag them. So you can go ahead and align them just how you want them so that they are at the bottom corners of each fixture and then you can tab away.
So since this tag has a circuit baked into it, you actually don't need to have the wiring shown on the drawing as well. So typically, if you wanted to do one or the other, you would pick either wiring or tag. And if you wanted to just do the tag, this is how it would look. Let's put the break room symbol or let's put the room tag right here. And there you go. You have your tag, you have your circuit, and you have your fixtures placed.
