Welcome back to the VDCF video course content for Revit MEP Mechanical. In the previous video, we went ahead and started tagging, and we're going to continue tagging in this next video. So I'm going to go ahead and go tag by category.
Make sure you save your project as you go. And I'm just going to work my way. I'm currently going through just my actual, uh, just the actual, uh, ducks right now to go ahead and just tag those.
So I'm going to go ahead and continue tagging and just work your way around. And you can combine the leaders as you see fit. If you want to split them up more, you can go ahead and do that, but I'm going to go ahead and have it like that.
So here, boom, boom, boom. I'm just working my way around and keep going. So that was a little error that just said popped up.
That said, I don't have a tag loaded probably because I clicked on the light fixture on accident or something along those lines. So I'm going to come down here, TG for tag. We're going to continue to keep going though.

Let's see here. Do do this one gets a little funky because I have that off at an angle there, but that's okay. Let's see.
Keep working my way around again. You may also need to adjust some of your, uh, room tags, your space tags. I'm going to go ahead and pull this guy out here just to give myself a little bit more space for these different tags.
I'm going to have go and then we'll hold off on tagging this area here because this one will tag actually in the call out view, but I can keep going. Just working my way around. Boom.
And then if you wanted to combine anything, you could even after the fact. So there's that. Let's go ahead and do that.
Do that. And we will do that one. I don't need to tag that little portion because this is eight inches consistently.
Let's go ahead. I'm going to move some of these room tags around. And again, it's just a balancing act that you just are going to have to work through.
And we're going to do this on all of our views. Sometimes these room, these space tags, the arrow or the arrowhead there, you may have to, it's sometimes easier to drag it farther away than drag it back. Dig into a straight line when it's just barely off like that.
Sometimes it's hard to get it to snap to it. I usually will just drag it far away and then bring it back to where it snaps straight. I'm going to go ahead and stop this video here.
When we come back, we'll move on to the next steps. See you then.
