Beam Tags

Beam tagging is an integral part of a structural framing plan. Designing a structure requires labeling from
the simple to the complex. Revit Architecture Beam tags provide for this informational labeling.

Structural Framing Tag Families

The structural framing tag family annotates beams. You can adjust the default positions of these tags in the
Family Categories and Parameters dialog. See
The Structural Framing Tag category contains 2 parameters.
Rotate with component: When selected, the tag rotates with its beam. When deselected, the tag orients itself
with respect to the view frame.
Attachment Point: Defines the initial location of the tag along a beam (start, middle, or end) and is the point
the tag tracks as the beam is lengthened and shortened.
When enabled, a tag leader extends from this point.
<None>: Locates the tag in the middle of the beam by default.

Beam Annotations Tool

The Beam Annotations tool allows you to place multiple beam tags, annotations, and spot elevations on
selected beams or all beams in the current view. It is only available when working in a structural plan or
ceiling plan view. Structural Framing Tags that are set to Rotate with Component must be loaded for the
dialog to launch.
