Intelligently Batch Add Tags with Ideate Annotate

Since we launched Ideate Annotate in June of 2022, so many customers have let us know that this tool, which is part of the IdeateApps collection, has dramatically reduced the time they spend on documentation work and helped them ensure that clients and other stakeholders who review the 2D documentation can clearly see all annotative elements. 


In our last release of IdeateApps, we made Ideate Annotate even better. Now, users can batch add tags to Revit projects, decreasing the time it takes to manage tags and improving their accuracy. 


With this feature, users can: 


  • Tag elements that are only in the new construction phase
  • Tag or ignore nested elements
  • Assign different tags to different element types, even within the same data category
  • Exclude elements based on family and/or type name
  • Tag elements based on their properties, such as length or area
  • Control the location of tags relative to the tagged element as a default or an override
  • Tag the active view or all open views. This also works for tagging elements from linked files!
