Tag Wrangler
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
Select the architype sheet from the dropdown, select the tags on plan you want to move. Click the command button and see your tags detangle. The tags will be automatically filtered in the selection so no need to be overly precious or filter the selection beforehand. Anythinthing that isn't a tag is just ignored. Just mark over an area and run the command.
Example Usages:
Column Numbering - We have various column elements changing size and new/existing status in a retrofit project. Use Tag Wrangler to keep the column mark tag in the exact same location everywhere from the foundation to the penthouse regardless of walks, slants, and size.
Beam Size Updates - Update beam sizes on the second floor. Go to the next floor, select everything, and use 'Match Type'.
Aligning Elements - a design change shifted an item. To match the shift on other floors, go to the other floors, select tags, and use 'Match Location'.

Additional Information
Known Issues
The Location Match feature can only move to hosted elements on thier host plane. As in if a wall and window were on one floor, trying to move the window won't update the wall locations. This is standard Revit constraint. The work around for this scenario would be to tag the walls and windows, location match the walls, location match the windows.
This addin is design for matching plan locations to plan locations, it cannot be used for matching elevations to elevations.
