Seat Tags

The application includes two Furniture category tags that are loaded automatically during project initialization. Tags provide an alternative way to display seat numbers and seat widths that does not rely on model text and is not visible in linked models or renderings.

Tag	Displays
Seat Number Tag	The PB_Seat_Number shared parameter value
Seat Width Tag	The seat's nominal width

Applying tags

Tags can be applied individually using Revit's Tag by Category command, or in bulk using Tag All for the Furniture category in a view. Leader lines and tag positions can be adjusted after placement in the standard Revit way.

Compared to model text labels

	Model text (Graphics commands)	Tags
Visible in linked models	Yes, when type parameter is on	No
Visible in renderings	Yes, when type parameter is on	No
Per-view visibility control	Subcategory in V/G Overrides	Annotation category in V/G Overrides
Requires placement	No — embedded in family	Yes — placed per view
Graphics formatting	Fixed to family design	User-formatted after placement

Tip

Tags are the preferred approach when the seating model will be linked into an architectural project where 3D model text would otherwise appear in perspective views or renderings.
