Good questions. This is something I attempted to do earlier in the pandemic shutdown but found very little flexibility with customizing how the leader interacted with the wall family. I specifically wanted to set a input category that would set the tag X distance from the either int or ext face of a wall... but never found out how. Maybe there is a way, but if so, I've not found it yet. I think we need the option to customize leaders beyond just picking the head type.
In the end, I decided that as an office standard, it was best to force the user to manually position the wall tag so that it makes them think why and where the info goes (something we struggle with many staff in the office). I don't like auto tagging anything, personally.
This is a tough one. We just tag walls with a 'free end' and manually adjust it's location. Sucks I know but it always seems like something is in the way of the tag so we move it anyways.
Revit Wall Tags
Anyone know how you can automatically center Revit wall tags in walls and also a certain distance away from the wall face?

Is this not the setting for the length of the tag?
It is if you use attached end, but then you're stuck with whatever default position revit picks which rarely works with the rest of the annotations.
