Revit Snippet: Combine Identical Tags with Multi-leader

Posted on by

Are your Revit views overwhelmed with repeated tags? You’re not alone. Architects, engineers, and BIM specialists often face the challenge of multiple identical tags cluttering up their documentation.

In our latest tutorial, we solve this problem using a simple yet powerful Dynamo script that combines multiple tags into a single multi-leader tag. Cleaner views, less manual cleanup, and smarter workflows are just one click away.
