A common question when training Revit is; can room objects be generated and tagged for multiple levels? Of course, the answer is yes when using Dynamo scripting!
Fig. Push a button and rooms and tags are placed for all levels!
The easiest way to do this is to make use of the MEPover package which has a range of useful nodes including creating rooms from levels. All that is required is to select the construction phase and the rooms and tags will be placed in the appropriate views.
As dynamo scripts go it looks simple enough, but beware of the ‘python’ lurking in the background! To change the room name prefix or similar the python script can be edited to suit a particular project’s needs. Simply right click the custom node and change the string contained in quotation marks.
The MEPOver Package can be installed from the package’s manager, the process of which I outlined in a previous post here:
