Place Device Based on Room Tag

[Jim Clayton]

Hello. I’m fairly new to Revit so I’m probably going to butcher this question. Is it possible to place different devices throughout a floor plan, based solely on the Room Tag. For instance, if there was a schedule that contained all of the different room names, could I go through that line by line and for a classroom, insert device A, for a kitchen, insert device B. Then when I opened up the floor plan, all of those devices would be there and I would just have to fine tune their location. Hopefully that made sense.

Programmatically I think it can be done via Dynamo. You need the list of the rooms and devices, get the room boundaries and room center point and place the designated device there using location nodes ... I haven't tried it though but i think it's possible.
