What is Bimrock Autotag?

How Autotag replaces manual tagging workflows with profile-driven automation.

Last updated: 2024-12-01

If you've ever run Tag All Not Tagged and then spent an hour nudging tags, fixing overlaps, and deleting extras, you already know the pain Autotag solves. Autotag replaces that entire cycle with a profile: you define once which MEP categories and parameters matter, and the system runs a consistent tagging + arrangement pass across all your Revit views.

What Autotag Does Differently

Unlike native Revit tagging commands, Autotag combines tag creation and intelligent placement in one operation:

  • Creates tags based on profile rules (categories, system types, filters)—not just "everything visible"
  • Arranges tags automatically using overlap avoidance and consistent positioning
  • Processes views in the background via a job queue, so you can keep working
  • Stores your tagging standards in reusable profiles that work across projects and teams
Think of Profiles as View Templates for Tagging
Where view templates control graphics, profiles control what gets tagged and how. Define once, apply everywhere.

Supported Revit Versions

Autotag supports Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. We maintain support for the latest three major versions; when a new version releases, the oldest is phased out over 6 months.

Key Capabilities

CapabilityWhat It Means for Your Workflow
Profile-driven taggingEncode your office standards once; apply them consistently across views and projects
Create & Organize in one passSkip the manual cleanup—tags are placed and arranged automatically
Batch processingTag all mechanical plans for a building in one operation
Scope controlTag only selected elements, only host model, or include linked models
Arrange toolsFine-tune congested areas with Tag Selector, Sort Cluster, and alignment tools
Background job queueQueue multiple views and keep modeling while Autotag processes

How It Fits Your Existing Workflow

Autotag respects your existing Revit setup:

  • Uses your project's loaded tag families—no special families required
  • Honors view visibility settings (VG) and crop regions
  • Works with linked models the same way you'd tag them manually
  • Doesn't modify your view templates or family definitions

Typical Time Savings

On a typical MEP project:

  • 30–60 minutes saved per floor plan (vs. Tag All + manual cleanup)
  • 2–4 hours saved per building when using Batch Tagging
  • Reduced QC cycles because tag placement is consistent across views
