Selecting All Instances
Maria, an experienced Revit user in a hurry to issue drawings, is asked
to remove circuit tags from the view in which she is currently working.
She uses Select All Instances and mistakenly chooses the In Entire
Project option. She doesn't notice the filter number indicating more
than 2,000 objects selected. Maria proceeds to delete all tags and gets
ready to issue the drawings. An hour later, she recognizes her error and
wants to undo changes. Unfortunately, other people have been
synchronizing work back to the central file, which includes some
additional work to the lighting design in other parts of the building.
Maria has no option but to go through the entire set to replace all tags.
There is an option to tag all objects not already tagged (Tag All Not
Tagged), which greatly reduces the amount of time required to
re-annotate the output documentation (although she does have to
repeat this in every view).
This experience doesn't put Maria off. She knows what happened and
why, and the drawings go out on time. Now, in training sessions, she is
able to demonstrate what not to do in a hurry (delete all tags in a
project) and how to rectify the issue by using the Tag All Not Tagged
option.
