I have been working on some service riser families and have come across a stumbling block.

Maybe best I give the end game first. In a nut shell I want a panel that I take from a family and then be able to modify the text, i/e. panel P-1,P-2, 120/208, 277/480....etc.

Thus far I have: created a "label" family for my electrical panels, that family is nested within another family "panels", like noted here https://www.revitforum.org/architect...notations.html

I can't get it to work yet but think I'm on the right trail. My question is am I on the right trail?

I'm doing my best to follow how to draw details, in this case risers with this method, https://www.revitforum.org/mep-gener...p-old-guy.html

Maybe lines and text would be better!

EDIT: Think I got it, I was making it to complicated. I just created a label with box around it, seems to work!
