How to Fix the White Background Issue in Revit Pipeline Ruler Annotation Text
When working with pipeline annotations in Revit, you might encounter a situation where the annotation text appears with a white background, as shown in the image below.
To resolve this, you can edit the label family within Revit software to remove the white background.
Here is a step-by-step guide along with an explanation of the “Wrap lines only between parameters” option:
- Click on the pipe size tag, then select the Edit Family command to enter the family editor environment.
- Select the tag, then click Edit Type in the properties panel to open the Type Properties dialog box.
- Change the background setting to transparent and click OK.
- Load the updated family back into the project and overwrite the existing parameters.
Regarding the option “Wrap lines only between parameters”, here’s what it means:
This option is commonly used when a tag displays two or more parameters simultaneously.
If this option is not selected, the text will wrap at the first word that reaches the label boundary, which can make the annotation look cluttered and unorganized.
When this option is selected, the text will only wrap at parameter boundaries, making the annotation appear neat and well-structured.
