Revit Snippet: Clean All Duplicated Tags in 1 Click

Posted on by

If you’ve ever opened a Revit model only to find dozens or even hundreds of duplicated tags cluttering your views, you’re not alone. Manually deleting those tags is tedious and time-consuming. That’s why we created a Dynamo script that removes all duplicated tags with just one click. In our latest YouTube tutorial, we’ll show you how to do exactly that.

Whether you’re a BIM coordinator, Revit technician, or automation enthusiast, this video will save you hours of repetitive work and boost your productivity. Scroll down to watch the full tutorial and download the script.

What You’ll Learn in This Video 📘

In this Revit Dynamo tutorial, you will discover how to:

  • Detect duplicated tags in any active view
  • Group tags by host elements using Python logic
  • Preview which tags are safe to delete before committing
  • Choose whether to keep the oldest or the newest tag
  • Clean up both main model and linked model tags
  • Write and run the Python script efficiently in Dynamo using VS Code

This approach makes it easy to maintain clean documentation views and keep your Revit projects organized.

Why This Script is a Game-Changer for Revit Users 🚀

Tag duplication is a common issue, especially when multiple people work on the same model or views get duplicated frequently. Instead of spending hours manually removing repeated tags, this script helps you:

  • Save time with a single-click cleanup
  • Reduce human error
  • Maintain consistency across project views
  • Scale up tagging workflows across categories

It’s especially helpful for large architectural or MEP models where tags can get out of control fast.
