### **What is the Revit Tag Generator?**

Whether through [Harvest](https://helpcenter.getavail.com/getting-started-with-avail-harvest?hsLang=en), or when simply indexing your content, you likely have Revit parameters you want to search your content by. Use the Revit Tag Generator for the initial grab, then manipulate the search values using Tag IO.

Located in **C:\\ProgramData\\Avail\\addins\\RevitTagGenerator**, the Revit Tag Generator is opened and used as a TXT file:

The instructions walk you through how to add your tags, pulled from the Revit parameters. These parameters will automatically get pulled as Keys, and the values will become the Tags.

**Warning!** Be aware that the key you choose to include can possibly generate a high volume of tags and negatively impact search performance, so choose wisely!

For example, including "Family Type" could produce thousands of tags when indexing a high quantity of family files.

Leverage the tags you want and need for more robust and more streamlined searchability for your users and the culture of the firm.

### **Technical Value**

1. Automate the population of your tags based on the parameters of Revit families and views when first building your Revit library.
2. Leverage the tags you want and need for more robust and more streamlined searchability for your users and the culture of the firm.
